I started investing here in 2016 so it's been 8-9 years for me.

Would love to connect and get to know/meet investors on here and form a relationship where we can help each other.Thanks any advice is greatly appreciated!

When it comes to finding good wholesalers, a few approaches have worked well for me and others in the industry:1.Local Networking & Meetups:Check out local real estate investor associations and networking events in the Akron/Cleveland area.

Hard money rates are really high right now, plus the rates once I cash out refi are high making it seem like the only option for me, but with the rates on both ends, just doesn't seem to justify.

Because cashing out properties now takes 12 months on title, brrrring has gotten a lot slower for me.

It's really hard for me to think there is any bar left out there after that. 

Would love to hear form some Multi-Family owners/operators in these markets about pros/cons and specifically neighborhoods to avoid.My wife and I have been to Columbia SC many times and, while we have never been to Little Rock Arkansas, we plan on going in Late March! 

If you're using a DSCR loan to purchase the home, most lenders use the lower of the lease agreement or 100% of the market rent from the appraisal form 1007 to determine the DSCR.

That way someone can have "passive" exposure through the debt, yet still have RE exposure in some form or fashion.

I've heard about wholesale real estate as a way to get started without a ton of money, but Im still trying to figure out if thats the right move for me.
