@Yosef Lee Yosef thank you for sharing such an inspiring story and journey! I too wanted to jump directly into multifamily unit investing and was hesitant. You give me energy to trust my instinct and continue to think bigger!

Hi Salvatore!

This is always the question I return to! I’m in a bit of a situation that makes my start in real estate investments unique. I’m in a city that’s offering dollar homes as part of its revitalization phase to bring some property value back to the city. I’m more than ready to purchase a few homes (after recording fees, title insurance, and processing fees of course). However, I am trying to exhaust my options of obtaining funding to bring the homes up to code and ready for habitation. I want to ultimately rent the homes to persons with Section 8 voucher holders to give back to persons in need. I’m just trying to navigate a few things to obtain funding at this point.....

I am gearing up to acquire a Dollar Property in STL, MO. I’ve done a bit of research on the process and was wondering if anyone had any advice or words of wisdom in regards to creating a plan and budget for my bid....

@Bob Floss II

Thank you for your response Bob.

@Paul Sian

okay great! Thank you Paul for your insight! I will certainly keep that in mind as I go forward! Would you be interested to speaking further about how you chose your properties seeing that you are in the Cincinnati area as well?

@Kris Wong Thank you Kris for all of your words of wisdom! I will definitely take all of these options into consideration going forward!!!

I am a new attorney looking to start investing in real estate in the Cincinnati Metropolitan Area. I would like to know if there are any other attorneys here that can lend some advice about their real estate ventures. Specifically, I’d like to know how you managed to devote your time to investing as well as your practice and other career commitments.
