I am starting to become involved in real estate investing and I am looking between two cities in Ohio to purchase my first property (hopefully a duplex).

Short term, leaving financing in place during rehab prior to resale — great strategy with limited risk to either party. 

Absent them, risk is controllable over time.

The right strategy for you is going to depend on a few things, like your risk tolerance and how much cash flow you need to hit your goals.

This 2 to 1 ratio is required because 1) they are work and my time deserves to be highly compensated. 2) big rehabs have some risk.

This option is ideal for penalty-free investment but comes with added complexity and strict IRS rules.Alternatively, a 60-Day Rollover allows you to withdraw funds and redeposit them into an IRA within 60 days to avoid penalties, though it carries the risk of missing the deadline.

This involves working backward from the final aim to determine the steps.

I've selected Collin, Denton, and Grayson counties as my investment focus.My goals involve investing in multifamily properties and long-term rentals.

With 20 years of experience managing 30+ long-term rentals, a few STRs, and running a property management company in Central Florida, I’ve learned both have their place in a portfolio if you diversify based on your risk tolerance and the timing for your goals.
