Always open to connecting with other operators who are taking a long-term view.

Operations oriented.

Folks were rewriting their whole game plan.HB 797 is still sitting right where a lot of bs goes to die.Last official action: referred to the Senate Rules and Operations Committee on 5/1/2025. 

I’m currently in the process of purchasing my first rental in the Covington / Newport, KY area and I’m looking to connect with other local investors and owners who are active in that market.My main focus is mid-term and short-term rentals, and I’m especially interested in learning:Which neighborhoods are performing best right nowLocal regulations & licensing tipsProperty management experiencesContractor / cleaner / lender recommendationsAnything you wish you knew before buying in the areaI’m a long-time business owner in the property service space (landscaping & fencing), so I bring a very hands-on, operations-minded approach and I’m looking to build long-term relationships — not just make a quick purchase.If you’re investing on the KY side of the river or in the greater Cincinnati market, I’d love to connect, share notes, and help each other grow.Feel free to comment here or send me a message.Looking forward to being part of the local investor community.

The value of proximity shows up in operational efficiency and management control, not necessarily in appraised value.

I operate on the marketing/data side of the business (mostly B2B focused), so I spend a lot of time analyzing seller behavior, response trends, and what actually creates motivated conversations vs. tire-kickers. 

Or if they do, they allow the sponsor to talk around lack of actual operating experience. 

The 2025 wholesaling landscape requires:Lean operations that reduce overhead.Compliance-friendly marketing (no cutting corners on texting regulations).

Fair question — I’m not selling anything.I’m a Professor of Information Technology and I’m researching operational and software challenges in property management.

For investors growing beyond a handful of doors:When does it make financial and operational sense to bring management in-house versus staying third-party?
