You've got a friend in the Cincinnati real estate business.
If you're investing in Cincinnati real estate, it helps to know a pro. I've been involved in real estate since 2002 - first as an investor (cash flow properties & major rehabs), and full-time since late 2003 as a Realtor. Most of my business has been helping both in-town and out-of-town investors buy and sell investment properties.
As a rehabber, I have a wealth of construction knowledge, that allows me to go through a property and recognize the condition of major home components & systems. (This does not take the place of a professional inspection!) I have good referrals to many trades that'll get your project done good, fast, and cheap; and professional connections for lending, accounting, insurance, title work, legal and the like. I'm an Independent Training Advisor of Nouveau Riche University - "We don't just provide Real Estate education, we create real estate investors!"
