I'm also a licensed Building Contractor looking to invest in condominiums & duplexes.  

Is it in the ghetto or a nice neighborhood?

I'm in a space to do some house hacking, and am under the general (unresearched, unless you count years of Zillow watching) opinion that my local rental market is healthy.

I am looking to connect with local investors in the southern Ohio area to learn from and work with.

Hi, I am Canadian, and I am not a registered agent, but interested in seller finance, so my question is can I talk to sellers directly or I have to do this through an agent that represents me? 

You may sneak one by an investor and some agents use this strategy but they are transactional agents, and rarely last in the business. 

Hello Everyone,I was talking to an investor in regards to financing and his suggestion was to get a 500k loan to put towards all current debt, but wasn't sure all the factors that may be implicated with going this route.My current portfolio has 2 properties (1 LTR, 1 MTR = 370k), and current debts: HELOC at 54k and a vehicle at 40k. 

If you've been looking to buy, the next few months leading up the election is the perfect time, in my opinion. 

In addition to Realtor.ca (ICX.ca, MLS.ca), you can also search Kijiji for the city/region in which you are interested,

We currently have one rental property that is fully paid off, generating $2,150 per month in income, with expenses around $1,000.
