Bifurcating the asset and operation, putting the wealth behind an "iron curtain" and arranging the public facing side of things in a manner where it is a conveyor belt of throw-away entities with little to no value stored themself, IS a viable approach. 

My goal changed from acquiring more inexpensive properties to looking at real estate as a store of wealth - quality over quantity. 

We have worked on improving the physical appearance and infrastructure of the park, updating the homes, getting a new sign, advertising it online, and creating a website (www.shadyacreshuntington.com).

In Franklinton there are plenty of large projects going on that will bring massive growth to the west side of Columbus, such as the Peninsula Development, which is a multiphase project that will erect a 24 story apartment complex featuring a grocery store, a multi use office space building, and a new hotel featuring a two-story venue.

If you just want the knowledge, sure, take the online classes and tests.

Are you doing this on your own, online?

I used the meetup app on the play store to find out about that.

The logic is so *** backwards.You buy real estate for the investment benefits, and store of value, etc.

Thinking of also getting one garage on the shorter side just to give someone more option to store .  

We use Avail.co to do the background checks, prepare and store leases, and to offer the required renter's insurance policy.Stessa.com does a good enough job acting as a free substitute for Quickbooks.AirBnB and Furnishedfinder.com for listing the space (though I will be trying MiniStays soon).
