I suggest joining a local real estate group to meet people in your area.

In the same breath, the tri-state area is far from investor friendly (at least from my POV).

I mean we were doing it in the SF bay area in the 80s.. it was the only way to do deals then..

@Mike Witzmann come to the meetup and learn from the best in the OC area.  

I’m excited to connect with other investors in the area, learn about the local market, and exchange ideas and experiences with like-minded professionals.I’m looking forward to learning from the community, discussing strategies, and gaining a better understanding of investing in Ohio.Thank you, and I’m excited to participate and contribute!

Similar to real estate, you do not find a newly renovated home in great area for a steep discount, its discounted because there is work or something that needs to occur to enhance its value.Hi Chris,Appreciate the response.

Multi family has been getting crushed in a lot of areas the last year.

My advice is to first get YOUR living area planned out. 

They were Class C and D, which take a LOT of time to stay on top the tenants.Padsplit does this, but only with Class A properties & corresponding tenants.Also, be aware YOU will have to supply kitchen, living room, laundry and other common area furniture and such. 

You need to come with capital, time, and connections of the locals and local area.
