I'm not sure about other neighborhoods in Cincinnati but my properties' area (Mt Healthy) just introduced a City Rental Registration, starting 2025, that costs $100.

As a hard money lender looking to fund $10MM+ in deals in 2025, our hope is to connect with similar sized hard money lenders, ideally in different geographic area, that are looking to create a small network to bounce ideas off of, learn from, and engage with regularly.Welcome to BP, as a lender happy to connect with you and network 

Not sure what the demand drivers are. 

I’ve never sold a note so I’m not sure how big of a discount a note buyer would demand. 1.

All being said, most real estate investors advocate that the earlier you can take action and acquire your first deal, the quicker you'll learn.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

But I do hope to offer some quality feedback for folks who are learning the industry and working towards success.

Drop a comment below, I would love to engage and learn from you all upon your journey, and how we can help and uplift each other!

I don't have any advice but I think this strategy is interesting and I hope to learn from others who respond to this post.

Any advice for me or lessons learned?
