Hello, just wondering if anyone knows of a real estate investment group in Cincinnati, would really like to find one and start networking more and more.

I would say that the simple answer to your questionis "no", you don't have to start a business to do this,and if you do start one, it won't help you get financing.Search for and read Ryan Webber's posts to get anidea of how to get started in the flipping business.There is not much expense in getting a propertyunder contract, but you do need to have a networkof investors to flip them to.Begin going to your local rei club and network yourway into this business.
