This team consists of an Investor Focused Agent, Lender, Contractor, and PM.Read this article on the "core 4".

Cincinnati and Columbus chapters are very active here and nationally and a great resource for networking, recommended contractors/vendors and education.

Realtors and lenders are usually the easiest to locate, while property managers and contractors can be more challenging to find.

I have seen a number of cases locally where a party clearly did something illegal like this whether it be a landlord tenant or someone hiring a contractor.

Real estate agents, property managers, and contractors who specialize in your target market can save you time and money in the long run.

It was high rent, low entry point area but within 6 months I dealt with an eviction and electrical issues.

I’d love to connect with local investors and agents and, further down the line, with contractors when we’re ready to take the next steps.Looking forward to connecting and learning from everyone here!

Quote from @Aaron Wolman: General question, I am turning over my first rental and I got the charges from my contractor on damage done and I want to see peoples opinion. 

@Alecia Loveless is correct--tenants need access 24/7 to their electric service panel, water and heat, assuming those are individual utilities for each unit. 

I currently am a resident here (so distance is non-factor) and I possess some handy skills that could save renovation costs (besides HVAC, structural issues, plumbing, electrical work).
