Does anyone know of a dscr lender that will allow for seasoned money for a down payment and a really good property manager in Ohio specifically in Columbus, Cin, and Cleveland?  

Have you checked with an SEC attorney to make sure you know how to legally raise money? 

Then there’s subject-to, where you take over a seller’s mortgage payments, or seller financing, where they become the bank—both work great but need some know-how.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

The local who lives there but commutes 30-60 min to another community because they can’t find a job to support their family in their town.That same local knows that a 4plex would be great on that lot that’s been vacant for 20 years and that there are at least 4 families who could benefit greatly from that development.That local knows that Ryan’s plumbing and Katie’s electrical companies that service 75% of the town really needs a new flex space to use as a shop, storage, and parking for their business so that they aren’t working out of their garage and can hire a couple of locals to work with them at the office and in the field.Development is different in our small towns but if locals aren’t the ones doing it, and developers aren’t coming, what happens to our kids futures?

The key for me wasn't to invest in the 'best place' but to know a market so well that a deal jumps off the page when it appears.

One never knows whether an area will gentrify but chatter on the street is money is flowing in the South Shore.

You need to think of that before it comes up (I know this the hard way...because I forgot).

My name is Carlisle, but friends and family know me as Mike.

The hilly terrain is a main reason for this and you can't really see that on a map so knowing the areas is key.We have old housing stock as well so big things like plumbing and electrical can vary cost wise if they have or haven't been updated.
