Jack - I strongly urge you to attend some of the respected REIA - Real Estate Investor Associations in your area.

A great way to find and build up your team will be at the local REIA's ( Real Estate Investors Association).

@Connor KellyThe Cincinnati and Columbus chapters of Real Estate Investors Association are super active (reiagc.com and coreeerocks.com) with meetings every night along with monthly meetings in Cincinnati’s Joe Fairless’ Best Ever CRE.

I would also recommend thoroughly reviewing the rules and regulations, and contacting the association directly, to confirm if room rentals will be allowed.

@NA NARachel, join the Georgia Real Estate Investors Association, GAREIA dot com, for networking and education. 

Are you a member of Real Estate Association of Greater Cincinnati (REIAGC.COM)?

However, if that effort fails, the local agent is equally liable – criminally and civilly – for any fees, fines, etc. associated with the property." 

I would check out local landlord trade associations and see what they provide and then tweak from there.

Let the current investor manage the eviction (you can even share the cost) so they are the ones associated with the current owner, wait a few weeks to a month after the eviction is fully complete, and then close on the property. 

All avenues you can look to for viable connections with transactions like this.For buying multiple properties, a lot of those deals came from close associates from local REI networking groups.In terms of a better deal I guess you could say a lot depends on how the deals are structured.
