Hello! My name is Nadia Ananya. I’m an investor looking for a reliable person to take photos of properties when I am not in town. I’m not looking for professional quality photos, most of the properties will be fixer-uppers and might be in rough shape. Please respond with your prices, I typically pay $50 per property, but am flexible on price. Thanks!

What city would you prefer to buy multifamiy ?

-goal is long term

-city with potential of future growth in jobs / population

-low cash flow is fine for now, but would depend on it after paying off

-would state with no income tax better for tax purposes ?

-Prefer states with landlord friendly law

-less crime, quality tenants

-prefer options of str in few units if possible, so vacation states might be good too. (nice to have)

-prefer more on cash flow inrease (vs appreciation ) or both.

What places do you suggest ? and why (bonus)

Out of state investor looking to connect and build a team in Ohio with broker/agents, licensed general contractors, wholesalers, insurance brokers/agents, lenders, property managers, and more. Investing in Columbus, Cleveland, Akron, and Cincinnati in properties 3+ bed, 1000+ sq ft, cosmetic rehabs for long term rentals.

I am looking to invest in the Cleveland or Columbus area on a rental property within $200K price range. Is it possible to find positive cashflow properties in these areas (positive after including mortgage)? What should be my expectations for the rent if the property is priced around $200K, given it will be a ~20 year old building? 

I searched through a lot of online listings, but everything seems to fall either in the negative cashflow region or the property isn't appealing in the photos. I am not sure which neighborhood to focus on. I am just stuck with analysis paralysis since 8 months :) So hoping to close a deal sometime soon.

Would love any recommendations for a trusted real estate agent and property managers that help out and zipcodes to target? Thank you so much

Hi there, 

I am looking at purchasing my first rental property and have narrowed it down to Ohio or Indiana. I am based in MA so I am looking for a local team. Any recommendations on key cities / towns within Ohio / Indiana that I should continue to research to further narrow my focus?

Out of state investor here, first time investing in the Columbus market. I am currently under contract for a property that was recently renovated. Inspection checked out without major issues. I had someone on the ground drive by the place couple days ago. It seems City of Columbus put a red sign in the front stating the property was unsafe to occupy and that should only be entered for repairs or demolition (I assume this means the property is condemned). Obviously I immediately called my local agent (who is great), and they followed up with the seller agent who is looking into this. I am going to strategize with my agent this week but wanted to seek advice here. I am not experienced in this unique situation, nor am I experienced dealing with the City of Columbus: 

1) Advice on what to do in this situation? Next steps and ensuring if i do close that the city has actually rescinded the condemn notice and it isn't the seller removing the sign. 

2) How efficient is City of Columbus? I am debating extending closing to allow seller to resolve this or just walking away from the deal.

3) Any speculation as to what the issue might be to result in this?

4) Should I notify my lender and other members of my team? (Currently only my agent knows). 

Hello! I just joined Bigger Pockets and am not 100% sure how to use the forum. I own a home in Upstate, NY that has 3 rental units in it. I bought it 17 years ago and had zero idea what I was doing, somehow it worked out really well. That being said, I should have bought a second property at that time and was too afraid to do so. Now the town is too expensive to repeat my success and buy a rental property that will generate income. 

I have been looking at buying another property in less expensive areas/states but am afraid and unclear what my next steps would be. I am making a profit from my house in Upstate, NY and have a good paying full time job. I am considering buying a duplex or some form of rental property in Oklahoma as I have friends and family there. 

Any suggestions, or suggested reading would be greatly appreciated. 

I just finished school and currently have a stable job with a bit of money saved up. First time investing in real estate, and chose Cleveland since my budget fits perfectly. Currently negotiating with a seller for 2 multi family properties for $200k, all units occupied, generating around $4k gross rents. Thoughts on this deal? 

Hello BP Fam,

I am looking for hard money lenders, preferably local to the Ohio Area, for a multi-unit property. If you are not in the OH area, but your rates are competitive, please feel free to reach out. Cheers!

Hello all,

I have finished my third book and well into the forth on investing. Right now I am passively looking at properties, not yet ready to make any offers and polishing my deal evaluating skills. I am looking to start my journey anywhere from Cincinnati to Columbus, OH

My plan: I plan on purchasing a 3-4 unit property and house hacking one of those units for about 12-18 months. I am absolutely open to BRRRR this property, it does not have to be turnkey. I have access to the VA loan. Something that makes my situation a bit more difficult is that I have a job in Hawaii (6 hour time difference from EST. right now). The job in Hawaii terminates in December of 2024, so to meet the <60 day requirement for VA loans, I need to close around September-November. I plan on using the VA loan first, then within the 12-18 months move and acquire another property. Rinse and repeat. I am open to foreclosures. I have not yet built my team, but I am ready to get started.

- Pre-approved to $450,000 (knowing I am eligible for more)

-Saving $3000/month

-60K in reserves and for BRRRR'n

What I’m looking for: evaluation of my plan to get started, advice on particular neighborhoods to look at in my desired zone, people to network with and develop a relationship with.

If you’re ready to get connected, please let me know.
