Hi everyone,
I just submitted an offer on a property in Columbus and am looking for a contractor for some light renovation work.
This is for an investment buy-and-hold property.
If you have anyone you've had a good experience with, I'd appreciate the recommendation.

22-year-old officer at Wright-Patterson AFB looking to get into rehabbing/flipping houses but have no experience in the area. Looking for someone who flips houses in the Dayton area that I can work for for free to learn the ropes of house flipping. May not know much about rehab, but I can do some manual labor in exchange for knowledge.
Do more research online and sign up for the local meet-ups. You will need to get as much contacts as possible before doing flips.

We recently took over the management of our own rental units. We currently have 4 units and we were looking for solutions to help with emergency call services. What do you guys recommend to help deal with emergency calls (eg. fire, flooding, leaks etc.) tenant call screening. Would love to hear your thoughts.
This could be really challenging. I have my go-to guys for all this work. Happy to share!!

Hello, I go by raf. Looking to move into investing after purchasing my main property which I live in and got some equity so far I'd like to possibly use. I live in the Springfield area so Dayton is right around the corner from me. Looking to find out if there's any other serious investors, lenders agents that have experience and may want to partner up and/or if not point out some opportunities. My end goal is to build up properties. and create cash flow and get my current mortgage covered. May be a tall order but where there's a will theres a way or BP wouldn't exist...thanks for your guys time
Hey Raf, building a portfolio is a great idea and I can help you with ideas, contacts etc. Feel free to reach out

Quote from @Dustin Abner:
Hi there, I'm wondering which way is best to start out and get out of the 9-5 fastest? I actually work 12 hour shifts but I'm very burnt out.
Would you suggest BRRRR as a way to build a quick portfolio and heavily focus on the REI dream, or househacking (multiple properties) for a few years with my W2 doing my main cashflow? Again, I'd really like to get out of my current situation but I am also realistic to the fact that it maybe can't happen right away. We have to take it one step at a time.
I also have this idea that flipping can build my capital in the beginning and fund these other ideas -- especially BRRRR.
Thanks in advance!
BRRRR could be risky for first time investors. I would suggest to work on your capital reserve first and then look into REI

Quote from @Eric Widmeyer:
My wife and I are looking to potentially invest in Dayton. We would like to purchase a 2-4 unit multi-family property for less than $300,000. We would prefer to be in a B or C class neighborhood.
Does anyone have any recommendations regarding the neighborhoods we should focus our search in Dayton? We live in CT, but am originally from Ohio and would like to invest in Ohio as opposed to CT currently.
Thanks for any advice anyone can offer!
Dayton often has deferred maintenance work so you need to be very careful while investing
