I was on the 6 month payment plan last year when it launched and was smart to do that and only lost $500.

We do not have enough capital for a significant down payment OR construction costs and so we are considering asking family members for a personal loan OR proposing a partnership.

Wouldn't this property negative cash flow by about $400/month with a 20% down payment?

I look at about 1,000 properties a week and have clients all over the country including Ohio.If you could put your price range, down payment, expected cap rate, tenant type, location such as suburban or urban core, etc. then I could quickly tell you if what you are looking for is a 1 in 100 or a 1 in 5,000 property.
