***To ALL my RE friends, lenders, wholesalers, closing attorneys etc (Metro Atlanta so far)***If you have ANY current or past deals with any of these names, let me know! 

These loans are more flexible in some cases.As for banks in Cleveland, some of the more investor-friendly options to consider might include:Huntington National Bank - Offers business loans and could be open to working with foreign nationals investing through U.S. corporations.First National Bank - Another local option that has experience working with investors, especially through corporate entities.

I am an investor friendly realtor and all of my investors do section 8!

Hey Hey @Mario Morales - @Sarita Scherpereel pointed out some really good questions you need to ask your friend...You have to consider the difference between a non-conforming and an illegal unit.  

Quote from @Sharad Bagri: We are a few friends from California looking to invest in multi family real estate in Ohio.

Maybe they give up partial interest in the property or convince a family or friend to help them because otherwise they will literally lose the property.  

@Charmaine Alard why don't you start with comparing the rent you charged your friend vs the rent you could have charged according to Zillow Rent Estimate or Rent-O-Meter.THEN compare that to what a PMC would cost.

This is more person and human friendly and good for newer investors who want to build locally.

I invested with friends so the lost some money but it is enough for me to scare about this game.

LOLOLOLOLOL, welcome to Student Rentals my friend.
