Friends of friends look good, anxious to take possession asap, even tell me openly they will be on the street by dd/mm/yy.We have to treat them just like every other applicant, even though we didn't sign up to be a Social Service for the County. 

Hi, I have a friend who owns a house outright and uses it as an airbnb.

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.

They have literally millions of users and transactions to perfect their processes and features. 

***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! 

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.

@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.

The seller will most likely ask their friends and/or family about it.
