@Joe Butcher Could you have closed with regular financing or would it have taken too long for the seller you were dealing with?

I personally use 3 on a regular basis: one for general RE transactions and contracts, another for evictions and another for entity formation.CheersLarry

I am looking to have regular investor meet-ups if you are in town.

Hello,I hope this is in a good section, Its my first true post other than my introduction earlier today.I have rentals in the central florida area and as such I scour Zillow and Realtor.com on a regular bases just to get an idea on pricing, sales and other rentals.Mine are in a complex called Columbia Arms.

The mobile home dealerships can help in this area since they receive calls from buyers on a regular basis.Hope that helps, good luck!

There is a good chance to rent as my neighborhood is near a private university and there are other rentals in my neighborhood but the going rents will not fully cover my mortgage, taxes, insurance; not to mention the HOA fees, lawn service, regular maintenance.

Just chatting people up, handing out promotional materials, etc. on a strictly commissioned basis.

Hey group,Looking for some more help as a newbie to the business, looking at purchasing multifamily units soon in the Columbus, Ohio area and trying to get suggestions, experiences with really good property managers as one property I am looking at was self managed thus, need my own new manager there fore sure and the other I would like to have managed as well.I promote any and all comments, good or bad regarding property managers, I would like to not make the same mistakes others have made with these people and would really like to build a solid relationship with one I can trust!!

As for the extra maintenance and such, you can get regular lawn maintenance for $100-150/mo.
