Hi Michael,I like your thoughts of building a large portfolio because it's very important in sub $100,000 markets like Ohio.A large portfolio = A safe portfolio.Personally, I've always been a big believer in buying with cash.Less is more.Once you gain experience and understanding the true income vs expenses of your portfolio.Then look at using leverage for faster growth.It takes many years to learn a market along with establishing a solid understanding of it's "in's and out's" from a people/team perspective.As investors we should always reverse engineer and protect the bottom line first and foremost before looking toward expansion and growth.My "cash only" mentality has served me well over the years in my businesses and real estate endeavors.Especially when things turned South and they always eventually do.Start slow, start small, buy with cash and build from there.Just my opinion and wishing you much successps.

The question is how to position yourselves in a unique way that people value.Best of luck - Chris

I rode around and managed to find a few people working on rehabs and found out who they were renting to, rents they were getting, and one guy was kind enough to walk me through his rehab project.

And if you have any thoughts or experiences to give, they would be beneficial to many people here!

We have chosen single family housing rehabbing (fix & flip) I am looking for mentorship and great people to guide me or even partner with this field.

Tons of knowledge and great people here to help along the way!

With many people working from home, it isn't uncommon to require tenants to be available for repairmen or appliance deliveries.

The goal is to avoid mistakes and pitfalls that many people find themselves stuck in too late.

Some people will say you can only find BRRRR deals off the MLS and through wholesalers, but my experience is the wholesalers drastically over inflate the projected ARV and you can find similar priced properties on the MLS and their properties generally need a lot more work than they're letting on.

These are loans for people who don't live in the U.S. and they want to buy investment properties.
