@Seth Baumgartner, I live in Cincinnati, still own (now) one rental, but had more, have done about a dozen or so flips in the area over the years, here is my take.I am fairly risk adverse, so I don't venture into neighborhoods I don't know inside and out.  

When you’re just starting, resources provide you with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to avoid costly mistakes, make informed decisions, and stay focused on your goals.So, if you’re venturing into real estate investing, make sure you’re equipped with the resources that can guide your journey.

Obviously property management is not for everyone but for those who treat it as a separate business venture, it could become beneficial in the long run. 

Honestly, if you have that deal, I would venture to guess that there are more than a few people on BP that would be willing to be your partner on it.

Greetings to all,My name is Faris Wright, 29 year old registered nurse looking for guidance into this new venture of real estate.

Joint Venture How did you add value to the deal?

I'm curious to learn from this community—what strategies, partnerships, or team-building techniques have you found most effective in scaling your real estate ventures?

I see how this cannot lighten the burden of interest if you are continually borrowing from the LOC, but can't the equity be making more $$ in other ventures while a conventional is still heavy with interest and no access to the equity. 

Small ventures, Buildium is great!
