🏠PradeepHi Pradeep, I personally love Columbus Ohio and as someone who works with a lot of out of state investors - there's so many catalysts for why you should invest here.

As @Alecia Loveless stated real estate is an asset after you sell it.

They are much more reasonable and are more intertwined in a community than some lender states away.

Mine is:1) Out of state investing is much harder than it looks2) Chasing cash flow and doors hasn't been a good experience and be cautious if doing this.I'm not going to sugarcoat this. #1: I invest the Bay Area with a SFH (solely owned) and a multi-unit (co-owned).

.* I am only owner financing properties I own outright  Depends on state and how many you do.

The lease states: Landlord agrees to make all necessary repairs to structural portions of the Premises, including the roof, exterior walls, foundation, and exterior sewer line.When preforming agreed upon repairs all the toilets were flushing and operating, not clogging.The tenant has been occupying the building for two months and emailed me yesterday saying that all the toilets were clogging.

Check rules on her 401k with her employer ( vested, not vested) and with her accountant.If she takes the money out and puts it in her personal checking account that will be considered ordinary income and she will owe, state and federal tax, plus penalites and maybe SSI. 

Do yall include a clause in your rental contract that states that when an appliance breaks, that you will have it resolved in a certain time frame?

I need to know if there's a legal form that I can have the workers sign stating that I am not liable for anything.

My short-term rental is out of state but I manage it remotely (mostly guest communications and troubleshooting issues) and if I include in that the time I spent getting it ready to rent, I would say I materially participated and even more than anyone else (i.e. cleaner).
