This is generally the area which is bordered to the north by 295, the east by Ramsey St, to the west by 210, and BUS 401 to the south. 210 and Ramsey sort of form a “V” shape to the south and Country Club Dr. cuts through the middle (W to E).I have recently found several homes in this area which meet my criteria but they move quickly and I have not been able to get one of them as of yet.

@Gabrielle E. brought up some great ideas! 

@Gabrielle E. thank you!

Here is more info: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cincinnatis-real-esta...Though I have not invested in Norwood, I have purchased close to 20 properties in Madisonville and PR in the past 2 years mostly for flipping but a few buy and holds.

The agent was supposed to tell me to submit documents but since I was under the deductable, they didn't say anything and I didn't either.Now they told me I need:(1) before/after pictures;(2) PAID IN FULL receipt showing licensed specialty contractors on work performed;on:(a) roof repair(b) ceiling drywall work(c) ceiling texture and paint work(d) fence repairs(e) fallen, hanging, damaged tree branch removal and pruningAfter some calls and elbow twisting, I was able to get the roofer to give me a retroactive receipt now on work done in September of last year even though I paid him cash.I was not able to get the debris removal cleaning company to give me a receipt.I did the sheetrock, texture and painting myself so that was my time & cost.I have pictures of everything.So now my windstorm insurance may cancel because I can't provide receipts of licensed specialty contractors on sheetrock/texture/painting work performed.Kind of surprised that simple sheetrock repair work would need licensed specialty contractor. 

If you have nothing to bring to the table you will find it difficult I always tell folks in this situation is to simply go on e bay you can buy every single guru's written materials and tapes for 20 to 50 bucks each guru.. listen to all of those read them all.. then slice and dice and see what fits your personality.no one ever said real estate is easy.. takes no money and will just fall in your lap.. its the polar opposite.. 

If the property is reported on the Schedule E of your personal tax return then you (or specifically your tax return) is the tax payer for that property. 

E-gad, but ok, its a pretty boring life being a landlord, finding deals etc.   

Assumption is that I carry the mortgage, 595k and also pay about 80k for the rest of the down payment, FF&E and interior updates.
