If you plan on going 35 minutes south to Akron let me know! I can help out with information in that market. Currently have 7 doors in Akron but none are being used as S8. As a realtor I have sold many S8 homes and have worked with plenty of S8 investors in the Akron area. Best of luck on your journey!

No definitely not worth it. Like others have said there is plenty of free information out there on lending. Furthermore you can still lend to people from his cult group if you choose to through the Facebook group.

Use the outrageous $3000 you were going to pay for the class and lend it to someone.

Simply put we just like to see does it currently work in today's market. If the answer is "yes" we look to purchase.

Best of luck on your journey!

Hey Anthony! As an agent we can't steer you to one neighborhood or another. As an investor I have targeted 44312 for some appreciation and good cash flow. We also have some in 44306 for higher cash flow and less appreciation with one being student housing for University of Akron.

Agents are involved in deals all the time. It needs to be disclosed if they are a licensed agent.

It all depends on how complex your taxes are and who you are using to complete them. lol

Best piece of advice that I could give you is just do it. If you are at the stage of your life that it makes sense house hacking is your best bet. If you are married with kids like I was when I first started, it might not work out. Real estate meetups won't hurt but they are hardly needed at the beginning of your investing. Go into it with the mindset that you will figure it out and you will.

Best of luck Kevin!
