@Cary G Nicholson I heard it’s slow.

The City of Cincinnati Building Department really slowed us down quite a bit.

Odds are the conflicting information is most likely talking about different markets/products/price points/area grades etc.

You need to really figure out what product type and then do a deep dive into the market to see if it is even feasible. 

I also like my day job.I'm a pretty slow moving person and have never owned a home.

I feel the prices she is giving us to definitely be on the low end of the market though after scouring this area to find this deal for 2 years and seeing what properties sold for that will be similar to what our finished product is.

Our work has slowed down and we now have time to explore real estate as another source of income.

I'm considering exiting our MF project and putting that into our own OZ fund because (a) I believe in the product focus and (b) I think there will be better buying opportunities in the next 8-12 months and OZ gives me the flexibility to look for those deals (180 days to allocate, 30 months to complete). 

If rents are still affordable in these areas and supply isn't outstripping demand, I'd say you have  good case for investment in new construction product or even value add deals.
