I am pretty new in the world of real estate.

How do PMLs evaluate the potential of a real estate investment differently from banks?

Is this a real question?

Quote from @Richard Schubert: Quote from @Regina Blake: Hi, yes Ohio is a great place to invest in real estate.

@Joel RiveraRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

What does it have to do with real estate? 

Managing Own Properties: You can manage properties you own without a real estate license.

NY. 5 year draw, IO for 5 yrs and PI for 10 year repayment period.Red Canoe Credit Union, WA ORRegions- yes HELOC but no LOC River Bank & Trust, ALSCCU Florida 80% LTV, 2.75% first year promo, not LLC SECU NC 65% LTV rate 2.75% Oct 2021Signature Federal Credit Union 75% LTV (100% on primary residence)Silvergate BankSound CU "non-owner occupied HELOC, capped at $150K and interest rates are prime + 2%, 3% or 4%, based on credit, not to exceed 70% ltv.”S&T PennsylvaniaTCF BankTD Bank 75% line with FICO about 740.

That isn’t the easiest / safest first foray into real estate ownership.

Currently I'm listening to "ABCs of Real Estate Investing" and I've subscribed to the BiggerPockets podcast.
