EM once given can be tough to get back if the seller wont sign cancellation docs. your money could be tied up for years.. 

It is tough enough getting cash out refi, at a decent rate, these days especially on rental property.

My experience in management entailed onsite operations, mostly on value add assets that included (tenant relations, financial management, employee management, due diligence and take over projects, major CAP X renovations) What I'm looking for: Investment educated partner who has the financial means to invest and has the goal of being a buy and hold investor. 

Personally if this does happen I would like to see this paired with legislation that no longer requires a home address to become a W2 employee, which I imagine would help with some of the homeless problems many parts of the country are facing.While I think that this stuff may help increase the quality of life of those at the bottom, I do worry that this will all make profiting off of REI much more difficult.

Columbus and Cleveland are getting tough to do the drop down entity transaction.

I’ve gone to the city a few times for help, but they are so swamped and when they did “help” me, it felt counter productive because I waited for 3 hours (walk-in, not an appointment) and the employee was a little rude/condescending.I’ll definitely have to check out and see if they offer any of those classes/meetings because that would be great.Thank you both for your input!

However it’s going to be tough to cash flow the metro.

He has not been able to work and has had a tough time making his mortgage payment.

Think about your cash flow situation and how a sudden increase in work may create a cash flow crunch for you.Also, if you've never had employees before look into the insurance requirements in your state - worker's comp and general liability can be very expensive.

Zach, It can be tough to break in to a hot market, for sure!!
