HI All/Karim

DL hit it on the dot, Cincinnati crime is high I grew up there and when to Univ. of Cincinnati, it's ridiculous, there's no jail, cops don't care, before I graduated I did charity work in Over-the-Rhine i almost got shot back in 2000.  I'm sure things are better, near university is hit/miss off campus housing (Clifton) is in demand, that's place to start. stay away from avondale

I would suggest to partner with other investors, for building of that size a lender would go with 25% minimum down payment. 

I'm interested.

Yes, for a buy or re-finance, they complete detailed appraisal before loan commitment. 

Hi @ Rafael 

I posed comment at original post http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/01/01...

There are lot of lenders out there giving loan, start with small community banks, credit unions in the city where you going to invest in.

Just ask neighbors what they are paying for rent, you could possibly find a new tenant that way if landlord is just collecting checks and not doing repairs. You also have appraiser to a rent appraisal on the houses in the area, though some of this information can be available online or on your county's website.
