Hi All, am looking to connect with likeminded people to help me close on my first property before end of the year

Borrowing the down payment from other people can be a powerful accelerating strategy.

More people rent in Cleveland than Columbus - https://www.cleveland.com/data/2022/12/ranking-ohio-cities-b...I work in both markets and each one seems to have a fair amount of investors

Hey Alex, I'm interested in meeting other people in the ADU development space. 

I know people who invest in that area and do very well.

And I provide Rent to own homes for people with less -than perfect credit 

Motivation is an emotional state. 2 people subjected to the same environment will inherently act differently and thus proves it is not possible to target motivation.A motivated seller is not someone in foreclosure or is an absentee owner or is in tax trouble.A motivated seller is anyone willing to sell their house below market value no matter the reason.Everyone, please stop telling others to stay consistent.Let me tell you something, coming from a (NASA) scientist and engineer.When something does NOT work, you don't "do more" you don't stay consistent.

I also let people know my intentions and ask them why they arent using other sources to sell their property so I dont think I will get bitter people that feel caught off guard thinking they have their house sold when they sign the contract.

People tend to follow the money, but don't realize where they are in the curve.

@Kerry Baird are there any problems with partnering with someone else on a primary residence (1-4 units, FHA/conventional loan), just as long as one of the people on the deed is living in the house/in one of the units?
