A direct mail campaign to current owners of those properties you are looking for may help them keep you in mind for when they do want to sell, but that is a bigger picture kind of thing and I don't think it meets your timeline.  Try this  post  and this post.

Welcome to BP! It's great for networking and really digging deeply into the nitty gritty of the real estate world. As a fellow Ohioan, definitely be careful with Wholesaling. I know in Cincinnati there's been a huge crackdown, and even a few nasty newspaper articles calling wholesalers scammers and such. 

Welcome to BP! The networking possibilities alone make this sight invaluable. Also, never be afraid to reach out and ask questions on specific blog posts, people are very good at giving responses.

Welcome to Bigger Pockets! This forum is awesome. As you've already said, the amount of information provided here is insane.

Welcome to BP fellow Ohioan! Check out the beginners guide and I would suggest looking through the podcast for topics that interest you. They are generally great at pointing you towards different blogs and books to read.

Welcome to BP! I'm a fledgling REI in Cincy and most of what I've learnt has been through BP.

If only all demo was so easy.

@Tim C.  @Cody Brownfield  MU represent. I also looked at the rental market and it seems like it is pretty dominated by a handful of bigger companies that own a majority of stuff. Between that Miami building so much more student housing, I feel like it may not be the best market to invest it at the moment.

@Account Closed  Count me in.

Welcome to BP! I am also a young newbie from cincy. Ha. This site is great, the articles are full of useful info, and people are very helpful with answering any questions. The best way, imho, to get started is to just start running the numbers on deals you see and then ask people if it's a good deal and make note of what the property finally sells for and how that compares to what you would have bid.

I would be down with a meet up.

Is it really illegal in Ohio? Or do wholesalers just need to be more careful of their contract wording?
