Bradley, the Bigger Pockets website lets you click on a person's name and then connect to them to communicate via private message/email.

Having that info would help to determine whether or not it is ACTUALLY considered illegal in a court of law (not by some random guy on a bigger pockets forum.)

OK from me someone who has been funding cash flow props in the mid west and specifically Ohio for a few decades.. 50k houses are in the worst neighborhoods of any city in Ohio and cant be fully turn key.. other than some very small little rural towns this might work.. but if its any of the bigger MSA's  Cleveland Cinncy Columbus ( here come the Columbus agents :) who in my mind pretty straight shooters) Dayton Toledo etc..

I usually spend my entire weekends learning about it from bigger pockets, learning to underwrite and evaluate, learning financing etc.

Hi, I am new to Bigger Pockets and I am also in the process of purchasing my first home.

Additionally, they don't have the time or resources to research and investigate Owners calling with questions on legality of property/building renovations or proposed changes.

Long time listener to Afford Anything and Stacking Benjamins, heard about Bigger Pockets from there and have been having trouble getting off my butt and finally doing the things, so hoping to start in the direction of finding a mentor and actually learning this stuff.Glad to be here!

Having done 50 deals and your extensive postings on Bigger Pockets verifies your credibility to vote yeah or nay.  

Bigger pockets and similar forums are the closest you can get to real-time information from people doing exactly what you want to do.

These groups frequently arrange events and offer resources to prospective investors.Think about enrolling in Houston real estate courses or programs.
