I could try to answer and I'm certain the community would answer if you posted them. 

I belong to a community who shares a lot of valuable information in Columbus and it’s helped me jump start my projects there. 

I had also seen a year or so ago that the community wanted to put more restrictions and require a local contact, and limit on number of permits , but haven't seen anything more stringent since that proposal failed.If you can share your experience, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Welcome to the community.

Hi Eric, welcome to the BiggerPockets community!

. - Single family home in a community reinvestment act, therefore only require 3% down, get 1% of rate, and receive $6,000 towards closing costs. - Two single family homes in a community reinvestment act, therefore only require 3% down, get 1% of rate, and receive $6,000 towards closing costs.In order to receive these extremely low down payments, i would have to technically live in the residence for a few months as they do not offer these for investment properties. 

I've been a spectator in this community on and off for a while now.

Greetings, I’m reaching out to the community to find investor-friendly lenders for a cash-out refi on two properties.
