I've been in a similar spot with family.  

I have been renting out the first home to a family member under no official contract, but i want to establish it as an investment property.

Hi Joseph, if you have 4 single-family's, I recommend you ask to see each one of their lease agreements and screening processes.

I'll be specifically looking to start in the Cincinnati, Ohio and lean towards targeting buy and hold single family and potentially multi family as well.Any advice is appreciated and I look forward to connecting. 

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Jamaica.

Instead of moving into another single-family home, consider house hacking a duplex or triplex, this allows you to use low down payment loans (FHA, conventional) and offset your mortgage with rental income, accelerating your path to financial freedom.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) fix & flip investment in San Francisco.

Family committments can be pink (or whatever color), money making tasks (green), follow up for leads/lead generation (yellow).If it's on my calendar, it exists.

I love that you're focused on helping your family and community.

There are tons of filters you can use including out of town owners, single family, multi fam, equity percentage…etc. https://www.melissa.com
