I know of one particular loan program in Columbus (I'd need to see if they service Dayton) that offers 0% down for owner-occupants.

Durham tends to offer slightly better cash flow opportunities compared to Raleigh, especially if you’re targeting neighborhoods that are up-and-coming but still affordable.

I am 14 hours into the 20-hour online course offered by "RealEstateU."

Rhino is an insurance program, and I do not recommend them.

As a result any “offering” must either be a registered securities offering, or qualify for an exemption from the required registration.

I’ve had to widen my search radius to smaller suburbs or target properties needing light cosmetic work to make the numbers work.Value-add opportunities: Adding amenities tenants love, like finished basements or upgraded kitchens, seems to justify rent premiums in this market.Navigating the competition:Be creative with financing: Seller financing or partnering with other investors has been helpful to secure deals when conventional offers didn’t cut it.Work with local agents and wholesalers: They often have their finger on the pulse of off-market opportunities, which is critical in a hot market.For those new to suburban Chicago investing, I’d say the key is finding the “sweet spot” neighborhoods—ones on the rise but not yet maxed out in price.

There are many other sites you can list on if you are going for Insurance Bookings but in my markets or at least for the inventory I have, it hasn't proven to bring many leads. 

Be sure you consult your agreements with them as well to determine if there is some other action you are responsible for.You may also want to contact your insurance to find out if and when they may step in and do something.

@tom shallcross summarized this well in another post and just inflate your numbers up for a $665k purchase price and $2300/mo per unit for rent.Borrow 80% which is like $3700/mo for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance.

They generally will offer greater appreciation, as well.
