I would recommend looking for local FB investor groups, most areas have them!

Best bet is to try local and credit unions, possibly may have some programs for better rates.

Real estate loans to owner occupied properties where the business of the owner is closed down - or SHOULD be, and the owner needs some time to sell the property.  

It was a great crash course on the basics of a RAL business from location, staffing, patient selection, and branding.

When Helene/Milton hit we had local displacements and I suspended any rising rates (rising naturally due to spike to demand). 

*I know the markets really well even better than some local agents.

Definitely join your local chapter of REIA (real estate investors association) or join one of the ones that are fully online (Columbus and Cincinnati).

I know I would get bored with not having a job or business to do lol

Sometimes cities will allow this, but it depends on local zoning rules.If neither option works, it might be worth consulting a real estate attorney to explore your options.

Being proactive ensures you’re always a step ahead, minimizing risks and keeping your business running smoothly.Example: Imagine you implement an outdated tenant screening policy that inadvertently violates a new anti-discrimination law.
