I posted this in the 3CDC thread, but I thought I would post it in its own topic.  The OTR Foundation is hosting a panel discussion on June 6 at Venue 222 (222 E. 14th Street) on "lessons learned" by owner-occupiers who have gone through the process (or are currently in the process) of buying and rehabilitating a property as a residence in Over-the-Rhine.  There will be property owners in various stages of the process who can hopefully provide insight into things like finding a property, purchasing it, financing, selection of contractors/architects, etc.  (I am currently slated to be one of the panelists.) 

 

This is a follow-up to last year's Owner-Occupied Workshops presented by the OTR Foundation.  I attended the workshops and they were a big help.  Hopefully, this will provide similar insight to people who are interested in finding and rehabbing a place in OTR. 

 

Information is below.  Hope to see  a lot of folks there. 

 

 

I just wanted to do a quick update here, and hopefully drive even more interest in this (although it sounds like dozens of people have already registered, which is great!). 

 

* There are going to be 4 different properties discussed, and the properties themselves provide a wide range of experiences and insight.  Basically, every project discussed is going to be quite a bit different from the others, and in different stages of construction, so hopefully that will be helpful to everyone attending.

 

* The program itself is going to last about two hours, with presentations from homeowners and lots of Q&A.

 

* Afterward, it appears likely that the projects will be opened to the attendees if they want to walk through.

 

All in all, it is shaping up to be a cool experience.  I hope to see everyone there!

A nice write-up on the event planned for this Saturday from Urban Cincy.  Looking forward to it.
