I have searched high and low for services (Doorstead, Craigslist) but it seems no one is offering that level of service, or if they do I don't trust they can deliver considering my specific needs (experience with potential section 8 type community) in an increasingly gentrifying part of town.

Where I would draw issue is a syndicator claiming properties in their portfolio when they are only a Limited Partner (specifically in marketing material).

They could be the right sites, but it depends on what you are looking for specifically. 

Feel free to ask for more specific advice or guidance along the way.

I’m happy to share specifics on the properties if that helps.

The same goes for people creating groups specifically for a certain race, religion, etc.

Thanks everyone  I wouldn't follow the advice on utilities and bringing them in or ever do suburban development for builders. it is too small of a market and niche. there are only 7 builders who build more than 50 houses a year in columbus and only 3 have development arms and all of them do their own development. we do land entitlement for multifamily three story walk ups only, barely any Build to rent or BTR either because it's such a small part of the market.

If you have any more and/or specific questions, IM me.  

Commercial real estate is a totally different niche.

I just think it's funny how some people (not the OP or anyone in this thread specifically), like to romanticize the "free market" until it effects them in a negative way personally.
