I'm an investor and co-host in Dallas, TX--- and that's where I live. 

Hi @Shawn SmithI am a US loan officer in Toronto, assisting Canadians to secure financing in the US.

We started looking at coaching programs and some of these things just seem ridiculous at 20-40 grand, and some seem more like life coaching programs as opposed to real estate programs. we don't want to syndicate we really would just like to find someone that we can bounce deals / ideas off of and have them assist in underwriting and giving us a better sense of security that we are doing the right thing.

To me it was most important to have a group of 6-15 people that I felt I could really connect with and we could help each other in the area where I live

It isn't easy to make things pencil, and I don't see it getting much better over the next 12 months.I have changed my rental strategy to Co-Living (rent by the room).

I understand that if you live in a state that does not have a state income tax - you won't have any state tax liability, but based on $110K income, you would be in a 24% federal tax bracket...Distributions from an IRA or Roth conversion would be considered ordinary income and subject to ordinary income tax; capital gain tax is not applicable here, so I'm not sure why you are bringing it up... 

Property in Ohio is cheaper than where you live because it’s less desirable and will always attract less desirable tenants with higher maintenance and more evictions.

I also live in Bay Area and interested in OOS investing.

I'm 100% overseas now and no longer feel bound to invest in the city I live in.

I don't know Accessible CLG, but can say that we have rented to groups like this and have not had a problem.We have also rented to corporations who have people live there for only a few weeks at a time.
