I am an out-of-state investor looking to connect with investors in the greater Cincinnati area to build up my network.

I would look to house-hack if you are local -or- use this time to build up your financial readiness and see how the next 3-6 months shake out in some of those Midwest markets.

I'm particularly passionate about building custom homes and using  the BRRRR method.Outside of real estate, I enjoy ATV riding, playing soccer and basketball and also traveling the world and connecting with new people.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Hi All,I considered starting a REIT to allow others to invest and build wealth in projects that I would start, but that was a much, much higher level than I actually have interest in pursuing. 

This game lasts for a few years and you can buy a few buildings this way. 

The best way to access off market deals you have to either do it yourself, which is a full-time job calling and building relationships with these cold sellers, or find investor-friendly agents/wholesalers sourcing these deals for you.Check out wholesaling Facebook groups in your area and add yourself to all of them.

Can we use our current investment propeties or purchase another investment property purchase to at least slightly offset the tax hit?  

.* adu/jadu's add contributory value to the property as a whole, which may or may not = the cost to build them.

I thought of wholesaling as a way to get my feet wet and to build capital without having to use my own money.
