Cincinnati and Columbus chapters are very active here and nationally and a great resource for networking, recommended contractors/vendors and education.

I’m actively seeking to purchase either a multi-family or duplex unit in the Columbus area  for a medium rehab project. 

I live here and I haven't seen more FSBO but I'm seeing a lot more wholesaling activity.  

I'm an experienced project manager with hundreds of cradle-to-grave efforts under my belt, including building project scopes and budgets, evaluating contract proposals, and managing construction to maintain the delivery of high quality products on-time and in budget.Penny is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), serving the community mental health needs of parents, children and families.We both recognize we have an immense opportunity to serve our community and want to capitalize on the blessings we have been provided so that we can continue serving our neighbors.My wife, Penny, and I are looking to transition into commercial multi-family real estate in 2025.

Most who get tripped up are those buying the smaller multi-families that don't possess the correct use permit/historical rental license activity. 

If the investor is actively involved and can stay on top of materials, roll with it!

Social Media / Paid ads?

My point is this, I am actively involved/advising this investor, providing local vendors contacts (handyperson, surveyor, painters, etc) and I "don't wait for them to call me", I call them weekly. 

S-Corps are better suited for active income (e.g., property flipping).

I get FinTech is a high-risk activity, but imagine the industry will consolidate to one or a few strong players.
