I'm actively looking for PM in Cincinnati area.

The contractor will give you better pricing the more you use them, some GCs increase their price, but those are the ones you would like to not use (side note, of course with inflation you need to pay your people right, but it needs to be reasonable).

I help people get funding (mostly through Chase) with good terms like 0% interest for the first year.

Gita,At least the way I prefer to do things is to only run accrual based accounting activity on my day to day operations.

While this is a great and highly motivating goal, most people are either clueless or incorrect in their belief as to what is required to obtain this “lifestyle”.Understanding of the “how to” get there is further obscured by the misleading, and often patently false “pathways” sold by real estate educational MARKETING companies as workshops, upsold to association memberships, upsold to mentorships.

The area has certain advantages like shelter from regulation risk (pretty much as low as anywhere in the country if you buy in the approved STR tourist zones) and long term security (people aren't going to stop going to Orlando anytime soon). 

This is a real estate group so I’d assume a lot of people own a lot of real estate.

There are a lot of great resources here and around the web for people looking to invest in Birmingham.

People like it because you don’t need to own property—just lease it, list it on Airbnb, and make money if guests pay more than your rent and expenses.The catch?

There are lots of helpful people in this forum and LOTS of posts to scour.
