THIS is our society today, the games, lies, gimmicks, a-ok as long as it's "fun", even "good" for being such. 

I think society in general does not understand the law and how police officers do their jobs. 

For this to work you must change the perception of the building in the eyes of the tenants and the community.

Maybe your local Humane Society can help place them with foster families for a while.

Now, if I see or find out that you have plastered ads all over town, put it on CL, that's a good indication to me that I'm not getting any special deal from you, in fact, it tells me I'm just another guy in the general public that you're advertising to. meaning I may have to compete with Johnny Who Knowswho.You don't really want to get involved with a off the shelf mom and pop buyer looking for their own home, that gets sticky for you, so why go there while killing the perception of trying to give your real target market that you're trying to give them a good deal?

And note, I didn't say no "deals" are done, I am highlighting the reality of it, because I hear a lot of perception that one joins and "POW" there's deals left right and center flying around as though it's plugging oneself into a vibrant deal-flow, which is nothing at all what it is. 

@Javaras Thomas Here is a detailed overview of all Ohio MSA's and secondary markets in Ohiohttps://www.biggerpockets.com/...We typically avoid markets that have a population loss...Cleveland, Dayton, and Toledo...unfortunately, are hemorrhaging population...and along with it, possible economic downturn...I think Cincy and Columbus are your best options...I'm not sure you can go wrong in Columbus...That said, you can do well in any of these locations...we are in a housing crisis...as a society, we are unable to house folks very well...if you have a C-class rental that is safe, clean, and appropriately priced, you will have a waitlist...I'm not sure why people that don't immediately need cash flow place so much emphasis on it, but ultimately, the reason to invest in real estate is equity...long-term buy-and-hold rentals....you can do that anywhere in the country.

My perception is that, as a renter, I had a lot of competition to get into neighborhoods like the Higlands or Crescent Hill.

I’d agree that there was a perception that it was easier to contract Covid if you lived in a dense city like Manhattan or SF.

Hey all, question for all the real estate brokers out there.  If you have a real estate brokerage but you aren't using a big name to back you up (ie: Remax, Century 21, etc)...when you are flipping houses, do you feel...
