I plan to save up more cash to find more deals in Cincy & network with more real estate agents in Cincy who may know of off-market deals & can take videos & pics quickly for me when I've identified a potential good deal on realtor.com.

I found some great videos on Youtube that show you exactly what to look for and how to use the DealMachine app to start mailer campaigns once you find them. 

With help of a YouTube video, you can figure it out in a couple of minutes.

Heard they even have checkpoints before you get into town to prove you are a full time resident or essential business.  

They had essentially denied the loan, and collateral, due to a lack of "curb appeal".

DM if you need help with the process of becoming an agent.. there were some really helpful videos, study material, etc. that I used that may be helpful to you too! 

I would just start watching some videos on the software, because as you grow your portfolio it will get difficult to use excel. 

In the past on big roof jobs I've usually gotten a handful of quotes (commercial flat roofs), and the more the merrier since they are free estimates.I have also asked for pictures and/or videos for major items, especially basement leaks, roof leaks, misc. damage, etc.

If they can't come to a resolution (and we did offer to impartially mediate) then a restraining order or the court can decide who maintains possession of the unit and who essentially gets "bought out" or forced out of the unit.

That essentially means that they WILL cover any claims arising from the HELOC since they believe it is still on title in error.
