I am a full-time, somewhat seasoned Real Estate Investor familiar with Flips, Rentals and Lease Options.

The holiday seasons are a bit slower though. 

Good stuff Dave Van Horn I understand that the one thing that long-time note investors don't need is access to funds with JVs, but I was thinking I could include the legal work without charge for any notes in Ohio as away to get a seasoned vet onboard for a partnership deal.

I'd like to learn the opinions of seasoned real estate investors for rehabbing and selling properties in these areas.

Or you season the funds in one of your checking/savings accounts for two months, and lie when you are asked "is part of the down payment borrowed?"

I only have one property and I have so much respect for the seasoned pros in here.  

Work with a seasoned investor who can show me the ropes and maybe even partner on some rehabs.

One thing you can do is set things up quarterly by the season.. makes perfect sense.Look water heaters, cooling systems, boiler systems,schedule filters on those systems to be changed or inspected.exterior roofs, siding, windows a good general inspection spring and falllandscape grounds, parking area's including trash areas at least 2 times a year for needed replacements or lot line painting, or pot hole fixing..You should get into the units for a quick look see at least 2 times a year.. if not, be sure and schedule one before you renew a lease to make sure the upkeep is to your satisfaction.Just don't replace all the stoves at the same time or fridges,, then you'll have them all die again at the same time.. do appliances as needed.. and save some $$ so you've got that covered. 

Good luck on the investigation,, as far as running any type of drainage.. we were cautioned at our property when we put the sump pump discharge hose to the front yard so water would drain into street and go down into the sewer grate.. we were told by city we couldn't do that and they suggested we put in a underground tank reservoir type thing.. basically all we did then was move the discharge hose to further point in back yard.. it was a flip house so we only had one season to deal with the issue.So don't do all the digging work and then find out you can't revert the water to the street and have to yank it all out.. if you do a drain tile type thing to edge of front property line.. water is funny you want to control where it goes but it has a mind of its own sometimes. 

Hello BP Fam, I'm looking for a seasoned savvy investor that I can work with on a couple of deals.
