The fact that you’re CREATIVELY thinking about how to position yourself to add value to a transaction as a “broker” or intermediary is an excellent start.  

At least it's positive now, but it's almost like you have to keep it now to recoup in appreciation if possible.

I had a conversation with one of my investors yesterday and he was asking where is all the positive cash flow and the equity appreciation on our deals? 

And a lot of start-up companies are migrating to this city as well because of the OSU campus that has thousands of talented students graduating and looking for positions locally.Everything that’s going on here in Columbus is attracting investors and other businesses from all over.

I also have a LTR single family home with positive cash flow.  

Instead, he suggested I find a GC that's willing to enter projects in a "supervisory" position.

@Steve Maginnis thanks for the positive and vote:)

Quote from @Arya Taghdiri: Hi all— I’m just starting out as a real estate investor in the Cincinnati market and would love to connect with others who are in the same position or have experience here.

Or, do he need to send some type of escrow instructions that outline 1st position, will fund after all docs signed, etc?

Once you have a steady cash flow and a better understanding of what goes into renovations, you’ll be in a stronger position to move into MTR or consider a fix-and-flip project.
