*Hibid.com is online local auctions that you can bit on and then drive to pick up your purchases.

However, I wanted to start meeting and networking with the local Real Estate Investment community.

For years we had a local chattel lender who took on higher risk loans for those without the large down, not super high credit, and on older homes.

I am currently on the market looking for deals locally and out of state in OH. 

Yeah, I wanted my first property to be fairly turnkey mainly to learn some of the processes, build connections with local contractors, and mainly build confidence/momentum for future deals.

So training is generic and of course no one points out that you should check your state for the actual Laws of what I am teaching its legal in some states though :) Most of the trainers that were promising students to make 40k a month flipping houses did get shut down by the ftc.. think Montalongo Vertucci WE now see new posts about how you can make 1 mil a year flipping @Chris Seveney Chris just posted a screen shot of that advertisement and who is hawking that program. 

I continue to be flabbergasted at the local politicians who pass all these tenant friendly laws creating mounds of paperwork with a myriad of details and are surprised by why there are more evictions.

OK to funny, in your avatar you advertise yourself as a lender.

The reason is because you:1) Have your own get-away house2) Can write off your expenses3) Make extra IncomeYes, it comes with more managing, but if you simply advertise for a cleaning crew (or person), on craigslist, Fb, etc.

In this industry, people know people very quickly and reputation is everything-- when working alongside others on their financial futures/supporting local economies, truth is the hallmark of success.
