In my case I was lucky that I still kept half of my portfolio, so didn’t get out of the RE game altogether.

I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.

was just re-listening to your episode this weekend as I'm looking into some rezoning options myself!

Yeah that all makes sense, and I'm sure there was a ton that happened in the background here for the last 2 years since the vote to re-zone failed a second time. 

Going to local RE meetups can be a great way to make these connections!

I have the home owner willing to do owner financing for 6 months to a year with interest while I rehab it then re-fi and pay him off.

This resulted in longer times to re-rent and well as reducing the rental pool.

From the Great Recession to Q1 2022 it was easy to find RE that seemed very likely to produce outstanding return. 

Wife and I are coming down from Toronto, Canada and we are looking to network with current investors, PM, RE Agents, etc...I tried finding meet ups in the forum section "Events & Meetups Section" but had no success.Would love to know of any meetups in Ohio in Jan, Feb or March 2025!
