Oliver,Please look up my good friend and mentor Joe Fairless who lives in Cincy and hosts a meetup group.

It is labor intensive but you can find good off market deals this way. 

Hi @Nicholas GallinotWelcome to BPJoin your local REIA and all of the following can be addressed.Let me know if you have any questions.Regards,Joe Scorese

@Joe KimGenerally, you pay down secured debt from highest interest to lowest.  

@Stephanie Trevizo As I am sure you have already heard, Joe Buscaino (councilman) did not like the proposed look for the Johnson Tower as it does go with the historical feel of the area.

A lot of these investors have no interest whatsoever in doing manual labor.

Your idea is good, just need to iron a few wrinkles first.Let me know if you have any questions.Regards,Joe Scorese

There's the intellectual aspect (learning about different investment strategies, niches, areas; figuring out legal and tax strategies and implications; analyzing deals), the physical aspect (to the extent that I choose to do some labor) and the social aspect (networking with other investors; negotiating with sellers, lenders, contractors and potential partners).

Joe Bondy with RBC was the only person I could get to make the deal without going to some private lender for some awful interest rate.
