If i buy a property only to cover the mortgage, then come out of pocket for repairs, then it sounds like more of a flip than a rental property.If cashflow doesn't cover all the operting expenses, it doesn't necessarily mean it is a bad investment given appreciation.

When I asked him where he gets his deals from, he said wholesalers, word of mouth, and bigger pockets.

If you’re looking for DIY options, PropStream and DealMachine can give you some lien info, but they may not always be 100% accurate or up-to-date.For Central Ohio, check with the county recorder’s office or clerk of courts for lien and judgment records.

If you're exploring financing options for flips, rentals, or new construction in Tallahassee, I’d be happy to help.

I am located in Ohio and like many people I have researched and read about, tired of the 9-5 grind and putting money into someone else's pockets. 

Really looking to understand our options for financing etc.

I was planning to do cash-out, but there are several factors coming together that is making that a less attractive option (higher interest rate, longer seasoning).

Feel free to PM me if you'd like to talk options.

@Ana Vhan there are many commercial options where you can add multiple locations/multiple states onto a single policy.  

And I'd definitely get that document into the hands of some good counsel for feedback on your options.
