Great money for those who work hard doing private deals and then also gives you insights for off market deals and distressed deals. 

I did check out the Market Maker feature though, and I feel like it's somewhat OK.

Turno is a great option, also try checking local fb groups specific to that market. 

I'm interested in networking with investors who want to purchase multifamily assets in the Michigan or Ohio markets.

Purchase price: $55,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Purchased property was renter-occupied at $600/month at the time of purchaseDid not renew lease with tenant.Completed full Renovation at $30,000 6 days on the rental market before the property management team got a signed lease at $1200/month Renter moved in July.ARV $179,980 What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Many big-tech companies have established themselves here or are expanding into the Columbus market.

what should be a reason to choose 1 market over the other how to identify a market to buy?

Additionally, the costs of fixed rate seconds and HELOC's could come down from the double digits or make cash out refinances more feasible to tap equity for those with low first rate mortgage loans. 

If you use a HELOC, I would think about a BRRRR-ish strategy (No perfect BRRRR exists right now unless you go full off-market door knocking/postcard campaign/etc) to where you can refinance and get some of that money back, so you don't have $25k chunks of money at a 9-10% interest rate floating out there indefinitely.

Learn your market and learn to market.
