I would recommend looking for local FB investor groups, most areas have them!

You input and recommendations are greatly appreciated. 

Really reaching out today to see if anyone has a good recommended software they use for material list organization & construction management softwares.

My top recommendation is to begin by contacting property management companies in each target area.

Financing might be a challenge.I would recommend consulting with a attorney, loan officer, and CPA to discuss your specific situation and determine the best course of action. 

At this point, I would recommend having a line of credit to cover these things so you don't have money sitting in the bank doing nothing when it could be put to work.I have 33 units, no debt except for mortgages, and excellent income.

Typically starting with a smaller rehab budget of $50K or less (maybe a max of $75K) and avoiding a 1 to 1(or higher) ratio of purchase to rehab costs is recommend when you are first starting out. 

Quote from @Patrick Drury: @Charles MastenIf you are just jumping into the Columbus market I recommend areas like Hilltop, Linden, Eastmoor/ Whitehall, and Franklinton.

And if so, where would anyone recommend that I look to do this?
