Quote from @Debra Webb: I’m reaching out for some guidance on securing funding for my next real estate venture I don't have any capital to start with.

I'll then list my properties on the high end of whatever I think fair market rent is.

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

Aloha, BiggerPockets community!
I’ve been in the real estate business for almost three years now and have completed five deals: one buy-and-hold long-term rental, one short-term rental, and three fix-and-flip project...

Engage professionals to inspect major components such as the roof, plumbing (including sewer lines), foundation, drainage, electrical systems, HVAC, chillers, boilers, termites, exterior walls, balconies, stairs, rails, and concrete.

Or, any suggestions on specific companies to use? 

Any recommendations on key cities / towns within Ohio / Indiana that I should continue to research to further narrow my focus?

While you're doing repairs on your unit, treat it like a live-in-flip almost. 

Have a weird layout property where the front door is on the 2nd floor and there is a set of wooden stairs to get up there.

I wanted to know what are some good neighborhoods on the outskirts of town.
