Now, let me clarify:  I'm really looking to identify the trends (coast to coast) and the biggest time sucks you guys have. 

@Cody Hilke we have and manage a couple of properties in the western suburbs and have sold a bunch in those areas.

I am currently in the gulf coast of Mississippi area.

Do keep in mind that your debt to equity is fine for a residential loan, but might be cutting it a bit close for commercial underwriting; they will undoubtedly stress-test your pro-forma.Hopefully, the spread of ADUs on the west coast will help to get more residential lenders comfortable with income-generating small multifamily deals.

I am looking for a flooring guy, preferably someone who use dust collection system, to refinish about 1200 sqft of flooring in a house in western part of Cincinnati, OH.

I took my classes through Gold Coast and did all their practice tests on each chapter about a dozen times.

Then you can tell your success stories to your potential private lenders to sell them on investing with you.A  do you go to the first Tuesday auctions in your neck of the woods.. we did quite well there in Atlanta metro for a number of years.OP  courthouse steps are cash and carry. on the west coast there are HML that will put up bid money.. 

Baby boomers from California (we get more from CA then anywhere else), Denver, and other expensive areas all over the west coast are selling their homes and coming to Pueblo West where they can buy a house for 1/2 or 1/3 the cost of their old home and retire more comfortably. 

There is a buy/sell segment with lots of buyers in the roomIs that the NHREIA one at the Best Western?  

Rabco is another pretty major metal building supplier that works on the east coast that might be a good group to talk with.
