I know prices are very steep here, and I would love to hear some insight from anyone in the area.

This question kind of misses the mark.

Quote from @Elvin William: I'm looking to invest in Cincinnati for the very first time.

Very interested in Rentals and wholesaling. im very excited to join this site - and would love to talk and learn more from you , I'm always eager to learn and meet new people . while I've been trying to get into the real estate world for a few years now - it's been a little bit tough, especially knowing where to start and how to go about it .

@Hai Le if only it was this EASY!

From what I've heard, HELOC's are crazy right now, anything below 7.50-8.00% would be great 

There’s nothing you can do to prevent that from occurring and it’s quite frankly the first defendant most plaintiffs attorneys will think to include.

There are pros / cons of whatever way you go about it plus a lot of unknowns.If your dad owns the place and it appreciates a lot and he decides to sell it, the gain can potentially be tax free which you wouldn't have the option for if it was a rental.I personally wouldn't do business with family.What if you own it and he rents it from you and you both have a disagreement on rent increases?

It wasn’t a huge payday—$5,000—but what I gained from the experience was far more valuable than the check.It started when I got a lead from an older woman who owned a house in New Hampshire but lived in Maine.

Was this real?
