 I am closing on 40 more units and will be at 125 under management here soon. I have been using free systems for the last 8 years. I started with excel, then began using cozy.co and apartments . com after they bought them out. I recently used turbotenant for a new property. I am getting to the point where I need everything under one complete system so I can train my assistant on the new system. I am currently looking for an all in one system as well, I plan on buying more properties soon.

Hi there, I'm an investor from Canada, and will be flying into Cincinnati for the first time next week to check out the market. I'm planning to explore the different regions of the city with the aim to identify specific neighbourhoods that would work for my investment goals (ideally a value-add multifamily, for long-term to mid-term tenants). 

Are there any agents here that would be open to connecting, to provide a read on market opportunities? I'm looking to establish some roots in the region – splitting my time primarily between Ontario, Ohio, and Montreal – so hoping to connect with real estate professionals with a solid grasp of the market to inform a long-term investment strategy in Ohio. 

As a Canadian - would be great to connect with folks that have facilitated investing cross-border. 

Thanks in advance!

I would say try Cincinnati, contact Joe Cornwell from Ownerland realty. 

Can't recommend @Joseph Cornwell enough, he helped me buy my first duplex in Cincinnati and he has a contracting business, so he can give you advice on repairs, remodel costs, etc

Hi all!

I am considering moving out of NC to somewhere new as I have lived in NC pretty much all my life.

I am looking for one of two things in my next property and looking to spend anywhere from $150,000 - $375,000 (max) :

Option 1: A quadplex (max $375,000) /Triplex/Duplex (If $250,000 or under for a Duplex)

Option 2: A house (not HOA) that needs work done to it (not a house that needs to be rebuilt from the studs) and I am open to dropping $150,000 - $250,000 unless I need to spend more in that market and the math makes sense.

Areas I am looking to is:

- San Antonio, TX
- Columbus, OH
- Cincinnati, OH 
- Seguin, TX
- Boerne, TX
- Des Moines, IA

Others in there as well but that's a good starting list of where I am considering looking to move to and I am researching.

Any guidance on ideal investor friendly markets would be appreciated. I won't be buying a house for awhile but good to research in advance.

Thanks all!

Hello BiggerPockets Community, I hope everyone is doing well. I'm Seth, a real estate investor focusing on building a vast portfolio. Currently, I'm dealing with significant foundation issues in one of my Ohio properties. The house lacks a full foundation all around and also has a partial crawlspace. To top it off, the front of the house is sloping by about a foot. I've received an initial estimate for the repairs, but it's quite hefty. Before moving forward, I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has dealt with similar issues: What were the approximate costs you encountered for foundation repairs? Any reputable contractors you could recommend in Ohio? Strategies for financing costly repairs while still keeping an eye on property acquisitions? If you've done foundation work, what hidden costs or challenges did you encounter that weren't obvious initially? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Best, Seth Christian Baumgartner

Hello, 

I was looking to get some advice on property management software as a landlord. I came across an ad for a program called doorloop on FB that says you can collect rent, request maintenance , list your property, etc. i was looking to see if anyone has heard/ used this. As well as looking for any recommendations for any all in one software for property management.

Hi BP Fam,

I am looking to buy a few properties by the end of this year or early next year and would like to get one under contract within a few months. I visited Cincinnati recently to identify the opportunities and see the neighborhoods up close for a weekend. I am an out-of-state investor looking to connect with investors in the greater Cincinnati area to build up my network. Let's connect!
