having a hard time finding a good property

[Sunny P.]

Hello,

I have been looking for almost 3 months (in Cincinnati) and having a hard time finding a good enough deal that's in a good, desirable location and rents easily.  I am not looking for a total gut job but okay with paint and replacing the carpet and such.  I am not looking for active participation in the property either.

I am open to single family, condos, multifamily, etc.   

Any help or leads would be appreciated.  thanks.

@Sunny P. it is difficult to tell by your profile how much experience you have but I will pass along my two cents.  The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and getting the same results.  Sounds like you may need to change things up.  Do you have a team (realtor, mentors,...).  Have you examined your criteria?  Have you made offers (they can be low ball offers just to get engagement by the sellers).  We are active investors here in Cincinnati and have no problem finding good deals here.  In fact we hold properties in over half of all the Cincinnati neighborhoods so have a good sense of what is attractive (for us). 

Don't give up if believe you are really wired for the REI game.
