This is sending up some prickly hairs on my back.

There are great pitbulls by the way, but I am not a fan of all of this fake ESA stuff.

I'm an IT Consulting guy by day & RE investor by night so getting into the details of all of the technology offerings, how they integrate, which capabilities overlap/don't, where integrated value sits, etc. exposes my nerdiness/love for this kind of stuff.

They'll want all the normal stuff; bank account info, LES for several months, hard credit check, etc.

Everyone's obsessed with "off market deals" but a realtor who knows their stuff will be your true guide in the market.Secondly, I recommend asking those folks for good lenders, and also finding and connecting with other investors in the market (who have nothing to sell you). 

He gave the WORST advice on here, clearly had no idea what he was talking about then would say stuff like "Your agent is not on your team, just connect with people doing deals.

Tons of outdoorsy stuff too (Metro Parks, Alum Creeks, Hocking Hills nearby)!

This is the kind of stuff I love attacking!

But, of course, they found something to send me a written notice over.It was a handful of small stuff, no big deal.

I would follow all of his free stuff before you buy anything and realize that when you pay for something, you want there to be others paying for it that you can be involved with in real life because that is where the magic and long-term relationships happen.
