I can also put you in touch with local lawyers if needed.  

I am new to real estate investing and looking to connect with any local investor.

I'm a local real estate broker working in the Cincinnati and Dayton Markets.

How are values changing compared to the rest of the local market? 

If you’re open to short term rentals, there are lots of places across the state that can really work.I’m a local investor-friendly realtor and work with both long-term and short-term rental clients.

A local couple who’se combined income is 300K and who sponsored the family’s immigration to US is willing to be co-signers for the family of 5.I am thinking that Party2 will put more miles on the house and may be harder to deal with in case of any complaints or eviction, though I am not an experienced landlord so I am not sure what are the factors to evaluate or what all can go wrong?

When I had my B&Bs we also included local restaurants and attractions in the packet of information which you might want for a STR.

@Hiren Patani Ask a local eviction attorney in your area for a referral!

While finding a local CPA is important, consider the option of working with remote professionals who specialize in real estate and small business taxes.

I agree local banks and credit unions will be better if you're planning on growing your portfolio.
