A few years ago I got very interested in Real Estate Investing and connecting with anyone and everyone I could through local groups or individuals.

As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!

They’re local investors, run a REI meetup, and all around good guys!

Make sure to connect with local lenders and brokers as it's beneficial for achieving your real estate goals.

Call your local banks.

The project seems to be more targeted toward the local community and long-term rentals.

But yea it really goes to show the current expectations of laborers and apparently some handymen despite the economy where less pay is better than no pay and despite CA CSLB being very firm about its $500/project being a maximum for materials + labor.So yea I've resolved to conclude 'you're just not getting it, son!'

I travel to New York and Los Angeles for capital raising but happy to look at local partnerships.

@Randy Person had a good suggestion, tap into the local Real Estate Investor group athttps://www.facebook.com/groups/DaytonRealEstateInvesting, you'll find a lot of locals there happy to discuss with you.

Otherwise, check your local laws about storage.Find out how long you have to give him an itemized copy of deductions from his security deposit and return it.
