Anybody done that sort of marketing?

Since you're focusing on Dayton and Cincinnati, you'll find plenty of opportunities in those markets.

But to date, I've just set my rents at a rate that accounts for me having to pay the water bill - and informed the residents that each year I'll increase the rent based upon my expenses (including water), so keeping the bill down helps me to help them.But one problem this could cause is if increasing the rent to cover the water bill then places your rent above the market rate.

Logan county has the highest price per square foot new build in our market right now almost $400 per square foot.

Low down payment AND it cash flows also AND buyer has title.Maybe I am asking too much, but I don't think so.Perhaps you just market to homeowners.

@Ellis Moyewe really don't know a lot about this situation since there aren't many details in your post... but i don't think this makes any sense for anyone involved here...if it's a flip that's not selling, refinancing may not solve your problem and allow you to pay back the HML in fulland typically a sub to buyer wants a low interest rate... and if you refinance now you won't be getting a low interest rate, you'll just be getting whatever the market offers.and finally.... the vast majority of loans are NOT assumable. 

I am an experienced investor and unexpectely find myself managing a duplex myself and wondering if there is a small landlord (aka inexpensive) simple solution for marketing, background checks and lease creation that markets on zillow? 

If you don’t have a strong marketing system, it’s a grind.

Does anyone have experience with ADU's (accessory dwelling units) in any market, but particularly Cincinnati?

This deal was sourced off market by my real estate agent(recommended by bigger pocket),  seller uses a LLC to sign contract, I later found out online that LLC was owned by an real estate agent who seems to work for the same real estate broker as my agent, I don't know how well they know each other,  the mortgage broker I use is recommend by my real estate agent, the lender is a local bank in ohio. when I review my appraisal,  mortgage broker seems to know the seller ...
