Any recommendations for investor friendly title companies in Ohio or Northern Kentucky? Looking for Title companies who are comfortable with handling flips and wholesales specifically in (Columbus, Dayton, Akron Cincinnati, Covington)

Hey,

Im doing few posts lately to here feedback and understand what is the best route for me.

There is so many locations to invest and im struggling between few. 

I have around 150K-170K on hand to invest in any property i want.

I got approved for loans with 20% and good rates so that is not an issue.

I used to live in Austin Texas and i love Austin but i dont know if its good to invest for 1st time there.

DFW, Texas is attracting me as well and more affordable with around 200-250K houses

Jacksonville, Tampa & st pete is also interesting markets.

Columbus OH

Columbia, SC 

on other hand, there is cheaper im thinking to go with Cash Flow or with Appreciation ...

Cleveland OH, Akron OH are market with around 80K-100K houses and the rents on them are good, but the area it self its not have high appreciation rate year over year.

If i go with 250K + 50K remodeling it means i put 60K down payment but cant get $1800 -$2000 rent, so its not the best cashflow.

I need your help with what do you think in my condition is the best to do ? Im going between 6-7 different markets and im not focused, i need to build a team in one place , im spending ton of time about searching and searching more and more

Hi all, I am new to investing. I'd like to get started this year, but a few questions on what may be the best choice for first RE as a way to bridge to more investments after. Would love other's advice on best first investment with ideal scenarios below:

Choice 1: Out of state investment (likely has to be anywhere between $75k-110k in purchase price), likely conventional loan, 20-25% down. I'm finding some ideal properties (I'm finding good market with decent cashflow OR bad market decent cashflow - however, as tempting as both are, I'm assuming either way to stay away from the latter. However, the former has been scarce).

Choice 2: Multi-family property (in CA), conventional loan/FHA. I would like it to be a buy/hold with cashflow - my issue with this is that most of the locations I am finding seem to be in great locations (high pop growth, high rent %s) but using the BP Analysis calculator the cashflow is either low or negative, is there any idea why that may be the case?

Q: Would like to hear advice on the above choices for first RE investment that would help with future investments (as well as any advice/answers on the questions in each!)

Hi BP,

Duplex

3 bed/2 bath per side

Purchase: 150K

Rehab:153KEstimated ARV: $425K

Rental income: $1695/side = $3390/month or $40,680/yearCurrently owned free and clear

Any advice/direction would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hello, I am new to real estate investing and hope to learn and grow to become a full time investor.

Hi guys

My profession is a contractor and project manager but i live in California.

Im new to the BRRRR and i would like to start investing my first property in Cleveland, Ohio.

I kind of still wonder if its good to start investing over there, i did a lot of research and all the cities i want are for the next level but I need to start small. (i really like to invest in Raleigh , Austin, Durham, Charleston, Tampa.. but i feel that i need more money for that and i'm not ready to get into this market, a lot of competition. 

 I have 120K on side for investments, and I'm planning to take loan , no cash, that i can focus on fews things and not only 1 property.

The reason I want to invest there is because the properties there are cheap then all other places. i thought also on San Antonio, Corpus christi in Texas but prices there going 150-200K already...

What do you think on Cleveland for start? any other recommendation or its good market to focus? Ill be happy to hear what do you think for about what i said.

Hello, I'm starting my new Hosting business, Rock Star Services LLC. I'm looking to work with a property owner ready to give up the hosting part of their short-term rentals in the Dayton/Cincinnati, OH area(s). I'm willing to take over your hosting as a co-host for a three-month trial to prove myself. The percentage is negotiable. Lastly, if you simply want out of the STR business, I'd like to take your property off your hands. Think about it and DM me if you're interested.
