As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!

I would try a local commercial bank, you might be able to get in the high 7s for a full doc commercial loan. 

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

The project seems to be more targeted toward the local community and long-term rentals.

The city's ongoing cultural and economic resurgence, supported by proactive local government incentives, enhances property values and attracts a growing population.

Quote from @James Cavanagh: looking to connect with the community contractors across United States that deal with fixing flips and realtors to areas, Texas and OhioGo to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

I put it all in sleeves in a thin 3 ring binder.I add all sorts of brochures, flyers, menus etc from all the local places in sleeves as well.

You can try also finding local real estate groups on Facebook or try posting on some of the national ones focused on travelling nurses 

Thoroughly analyze prospective inve­stments through inspections, financial revie­ws and familiarity with local landlord-tenant regulations.

If you really need a partner, consider looking into local meetups and regional conferences to meet people.
