Some % of all of those are also looking for honest reviews.In the end though it really all comes down to the contacts, you're making in person, shaking hands, kissing babies, asking for business, keeping in better touch with your sphere.

Walk score, ride bike to work.I am with you there.. find these pockets these gems and help transform them.Thanks Jay,I'm sitting in this coffee shop as I type and it has a super Hipster feel about it.It's right in the heart of Price Hill.Now, there are some absolute stunner views here (Maybe some of the best in the region).In Oz, "water glimpses" or "district views" increase the value in the hundreds of thousands and I know they aren't as valued here.But still, that little pocket that I circled is just a straight shoot on 8th to Downtown Cinci.It's a bit rough there mate but it still makes me wonder.There really aren't that many buildings.

Seldom do you see a take on macroeconomic policies from people in the distressed real estate sphere.

I initially wanted to purchase a MFH and live in one side and rent out the other, however I was discouraged from doing so by both the realtor I was working with and the people in my immediate sphere of influence (mostly quality of life concerns--they're still appalled I live in such a tiny apartment by choice :)  ).  

You take your current profit and put it into an OZ fund which you can set up yourself.

I have heard that property prices in Canada (like oz where I live), generally make buy and hold investing expensive less profitable.

No co-mingling of these two spheres shall occur on the part of any partner.

I have a lot of different experiences in business, just not in this sphere. 

As a part-time agent I am going to start out with my inner circle/sphere of my immediate friends and family.
