I just came back from there and really love the city, culture, people, food. , and now wondering what the process might be for acquiring something there, where it might make the most sense, and if the numbers check out in the short and potentially long term.I'd love to connect with anyone who can offer any advice or thoughts would really be tremendous.

Their program may work for some people.

hey Jerome, we've had a lot of great success on Facebook marketplace, lots of people are using that for all kinds of things, it's pretty much the new craigslist.  

In the past, once people graduated high school/college they moved out and it was socially embarrassing living with your parents.

More-people-RENT.

At this point with my network and contacts i have really good deals at my desk many times but i have no capital to buy them and i kinda hate it, just wanted to pick the brain of the experienced folks here, should i raise capital and include other people and help them get 8% cash on cash and be partners and if so how and from where as i have never done this before?

If you have switched jobs and your retirement is in an IRA vs. 401k, maybe consider rolling it into a self-directed account to invest in other people's deals with that money (aka private money lender, syndications, etc.)

Besides survey issues you have to deal with HOA's, obtain tax clearance letters from the government and all deeds, except condos, must be attested by the public surveyor before closing (that in itself takes a week).I don't want to discourage you because I think investing in the islands can be lucrative, I have just seen many people from the states go in thinking that because it is the U.S. that it works like it does in the states.

Hi, people/clients would definitely agree that Ohio is a good place to invest in real estate.

I’m interested to hear what people recommend in this situation.
