I have done around 400 lease options with a business partner in the Midwest.  It seems to be a very different market here, but I am looking to see what makes sense.

I hope everyone had a great season in 2015. 

-being able to see seasonal trendsCons:-Unsure about the requirements to keep my license.

Would it be possible to refinance using an FHA loan after 6 months or so of seasoning?

In addition, I'd very much like to connect with investors, both seasoned and new, in the Cincinnati/NKY area to broaden my knowledge as well as to make connections for potential partnership deals in the future.I hope I get a chance to meet like-minded people soon!

Its just now moving to the investing field you want to make sure you learn aspects from a seasoned investor first. 

I'm curious to see what from seasoned pros have to say about adapting during this cycle change as well.

You may have to "season" the property for 6 months before a conventional bank will lend to you based on the appraised value.

As a Tucson agent, I'm fairly confidant you won't see a dip, and seasonally in Tucson, April is a better time to sell.

I would also suggest that you check out the local real estate investor groups, both Northwest REIA and Rarebird hold monthly meetings attended by may seasoned investors, along with all levels of investors.Good Luck.
