I myself am not an agent, have not studied for any of this, and do not live in Ohio, thus my commentary should be taken with a grain of salt..

You can use this time to learn more about your market, and even study.

My wife and I read and studied and researched and planned for what felt like forever. 

Interested in Youtube, podcasts, books, courses, etc.Some books I found include: The Definitive Study of Vacation Rentals, Vacation Rental Master: Beyond Airbnb, How To Rent Vacation Properties by Owner: The Complete Guide to Buy, Manage, Furnish, Rent, Maintain and Advertise Your Vacation Rental InvestmentVideos to learn about the best software for it, all the legal aspects, the process ins-and-outs, is there a resource?

I’m closing the end of my school year where I will hopefully land A lucrative position relevant to my field of study that can fund real estate investing in the future.  

We work with campuses providing summer and study abroad storage and shipping.

I have been educating myself by reading and studying everything I can get my hands on REI, including the BiggerPockets Podcast/s and books.

Make sure you study the market.
