You could do direct to seller marketing (cold calling, texting, mailers etc.) and or connect with some of the great agents in the area that are investor friendly who already have deal flow for off market deals.

An ideal bank would  allows one to set aside tenant's deposit money in a separate account that earn decent interest and is landlord friendly.

@Raz MalikIn Ohio both the Columbus and Cleveland markets are great for investing in from out of state since they are landlord-friendly, and have a low barrier of entry and cash flow.

I would check with your lender to confirm if 0% can be used for 3 and 4 units...they might require 5% down.SFR investment with rehab can also be a great way to invest in real estate. it just depends what are your strengths and goals and which strategy will best serve you.buying a home a year is normal for some. depends on what your goals are.Id think of it like planting a tree: being 25, time is on your side. if you have a solid income with healthy DTI, I would suggest taking advantage of it by house hacking small multi in A/B market and let father time be your friend.

I have a few other investor friends who are finding deals too.

Hey Jessica,Your post brought back memories of a friend of mine who's an investor in Tampa.

Could be reaching out to your friends/family, open houses, door knocking, cold calling, social media, etc.

Hi All,I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself.

I'm looking for relations with an Investor friendly realtor or broker.

To my knowledge there isn’t a BP page for Columbus overall; you need to do your own research or use the resources of motivated investor-friendly realtors like ReafCo.
