Some place that I can reasonably visit myself if need be on a weekend.

The main players in this space are Guidance Residential and UIF, but it turns out that they may just be purchasing a Freddie/Fannie loan on the back end to finance the deal and then structure it differently for the buyer - which isn't in accordance with their religious rules. 

My partner put my on to it How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Meanwhile if this is a single family home but is in an RM1 zoning district (as an example) you can usually get a use permit (number of units is based on the lot size).

Owner just needs 45 days to move out, is motivated to become a tenant if buyer prefers to not renovate until next year. 2nd floor tenants are on a month to month lease for $550.

Currently working on a deal to buy a 140 room property that is right next to a major freeway, and hospital.

I'm not sure how the Pittsburg market is, and what type of market trend it's currently on, but I know Columbus and it's in a massive growth trend that isn't going to stop anytime soon.There are multiple billion dollar companies dumping money into the city, such as Intel, Google, Honda, and Amazon.

We could contribute with the structures in exchange of an interest in the company, but we don't have the contacts/connections in the industry so I'm looking for advice on where to start looking.Any feedback/thoughts will be much appreciated!

Congrats on owning 6 doors, —20 doors is an awesome first goal, and 100 doors is even more impressive! 

Local Legislation: Do you keep a close eye on local regulations, especially around zoning and short-term rentals?
