Look forward to conversations ahead.

Thanks... I will give him a call....

Appreciate the contact.

I'll let you know how I do.

Hi... Steve Driscoll here - Live on Long Island, New York. Been on Bigger Pockets.com for years as a free member and really did not take advantage of the forums. Now a Pro member and I want to take an active part in these forums.

Till now, I have invested in SW Florida. Bought properties in 2009 & 2010 when it was basically buy three - get two free.. I could not believe just how cheap these homes really were. I did some basic rehab and rented out the properties.

I use a single management company - I'm on the phone with the company every other day - still difficult to manage properties over 1,000 miles away. They do cash flow for a net $300 average - per my tax return after all the deductions. Not bad. Appreciation.. well.. not bad either. When you can buy an asset that a family can live in cheaper than the Chevrolet at the corner used car lot.. you have to buy.

My basic experience is as a sub-prime auto finance lender. I have left that arena - Thank God... and am now looking to offer seller financing on the homes I purchase from here on. Private money financing has not been a real worry for me and I have some advise for those that may be interested.. but that's another forum post.

I would like to get into the Ohio market and seller finance SFH's there. I have no contacts as of now and will need to build a team..

Ok... look forward to your comments.....................

Hi Brandon...

Sorry for not getting right back to you. Been traveling in Norway with family. Very cool place.

Thank you for your input. I do plan to be an active poster on Bigger Pockets and enjoy the inter actions.

Regarding the financing - I plan to do my own financing for my buyers - "seller financing" and therefore will need a RMLO to make the financing package compatible under the Dodd-Frank bill.

At this time, I really am not in need of a portfolio or conventional lender.

Thanks again for thee input!

Hey guys and gals. Steve here. New on Bigger Pockets forums. Been a general member for a while.

I am looking for a RMLO to do my SF home deals in Ohio and haven't been able to find one. Any ideas?

Thanks.
