I'm looking to connect with Real Estate pro's in or near Cincinnati, OH and maybe in the same region. I'm starting in REI and looking to connect, and share stories. I'm also looking to connect with local contractors as well.

I understand about analyzing deals. I already used Bigger Pockets tools for that purpose. I have not started networking yet. The only reason I asked is that bringing in partners to the table will dilute the profit margin. Some lenders only loan up to 80% of the loan and require cash at closing. That is the part that I'm falling short. The reason is timing. I found a potential property, I analyzed the property. It may be a great investor property as a rental or flip. The other issue is potential issues with the property. Simple dry wall and flooring is easy for me. Anything more will require the use of contractors. That still requires money. 

You say I need to do more research, but the only way to be in business, is to be in business. 

I'm deciding to get my feet wet in REI. Where do investors go for money to acquire and purchase the property, and also for the rehab project?
