Thanks for following up, @Christian Bermeo I appreciate it. I will give them a call next week.  

No problem, @Daniel Fridrij. You're welcome. Good luck! Happy New Year to you as well!

@Daniel Fridrij - For #1 - your best primary source of information will be the Ohio Dept. of Job and Family Services Ohio Labor Market Information. I tried to copy and paste the link but not sure this site lets me, but try clicking on the hyperlink. Every state partners with U.S. Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, to publish monthly data relating to #1 (employment, unemployment, wages, occupations, industries, etc.) and has info by county/metro, etc. You can also check out the U.S. labor statistics as well for more general info. They're a wealth of free quality info and if you dig deeper at most publications, you'll see they originate from those sources too. 

Following this thread. I'm also looking for an architect investor friendly/mindset. Best of luck, @Christian Bermeo

@Casey Crowe Thanks. Appreciate it. 

 @Casey Crowe - If you don't mind, what was that property management you worked with in Vegas called? 

Hi @Lee Yoder,

I'm fairly new to BP and tried searching for the realtor you mentioned. Maybe i'm searching the wrong way. Can you help direct me to him? Please. Thanks. 

Hi Stephanie, 

I can't speak to the issue on lenders not doing loans for 50-60k, but regarding your second point, I really think trying to buy a home first makes the most sense. Technically, the first home you buy is investing or at the minimum be part of a longer strategy (earning equity that you can likely leverage later on, appreciation, etc.) and at the minimum you start learning about the process. You may likely qualify for an FHA loan and could put less down (so you'll have more money left over for investing). Also, maybe consider looking at buying a duplex where you rent one side and live in the other. That way someone else is contributing to your mortgage. That's what I would do. It's good you're thinking about if the numbers make sense after you move out and revisiting your goals. More seasoned investors on here may have better ideas and thoughts than I do so curious to hear other insights. Best of luck. Good luck on the journey!

Greetings, I'm just curious to learn or hear perspectives on Homestead Declaration in Nevada. Is it necessary or standard for investors? Or something optional?

Hi @Craig Curelop,

I somehow overlooked your response. Nonetheless, Thanks for the welcome message. I appreciate it. I've taken advantage of several of those tips in the past few months. Hope you are well. Thanks again.

All the best,

Manny
