I’m here because I am a real estate investor looking to be in a community with like minded people.

Attend meetups and meet as many people in RE as you can.

There is an old saying. ( Use money and love people) and not the other way around.

I think this is a way to try to lock people into using only Airbnb

Looking for some new action and help ( if anyone has some experience and is interested in learning the rental game)My interests:Finding someone local to potentially set up short term rentals and managing themFinding someone local to manage maintenance on 100 property rental portfolio in Stark CountyFinding someone local with experience in the wholesale game to identify and lock down deals Finding someone local to work as a property management assistant Finding new deals (rentals, flips, re-sales)Finding people to drink cocktails with and talk real estate and sports Identifying buyers interested in purchasing rental properties in Canton Ohio that are rehabbed , city inspected and up to code with renters. $100k per property , $750 avg monthly rent ( ability to raise up to $1000) 

I always suggest people take small steps when getting into the investing game!  

@Johnny Wolff Would say it depends on the city.We used to manage a property in Royal Oak, Michigan under the same "roommate" concept as you.

People think that's even different for investors...the fact is, it isn't.

Often times when people put manufactured home on lots they sell the manufactured home itself but keep the land and rent the land to the home owner. 

Each of them sought the property for their primary purpose of worship/office/etc, and then sought out additional uses as well - nursery school, food bank, place of worship for a Jewish congregation (Saturday versus Sunday), auxiliary space for the local library that needed additional educational space, counseling, etc.There is merit to your concept, but many factors come into consideration:  zoning, parking, how easy it is to "convert" space, etc.
