I'm interested in networking with investors who want to purchase multifamily assets in the Michigan or Ohio markets.

To answer your question: As for my market (San Diego) there is such a shortage of housing that even with a steady population we have been near nation high in RE appreciation each of the last few years.  

Anyone with insight on the market willing to connect?

Study the market.

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

I am familiar with a couple of CRM options that incorporate sales and marketing.

In many ways, this is the best market for buyers in Austin in years.

Lastly, it's super landlord friendly and the price point for finding positive cash flow is still very low (you can still find tons of great deals for $120-180k purchase price).On the other hand, other Ohio markets like Cleveland and Cincy are dying if you look at their population and job growth.

If just starting out maybe do a small flip with a good mentor in your local market or buy your first rental to learn the game and start building that wealth.

You need to combine it with a consistent marketing campaign to make the most of these contacts.
