Thank you for the valuable advice!

I've been informed that completing the course alone may not be sufficient to pass the exam, so I’m seeking advice on how to prepare effectively once I complete it.Currently, my only other resources include a YouTube video, five practice exams, and a textbook.If you have any additional suggestions—whether online or in-person, paid or free—that could help me effectively prepare for the exam, I would greatly appreciate them.

Thank you very much Anderson for this valuable information.

In addition to rent, you can setup late fees and other fees to be collected. 

But this comes with pockets of C/D neighborhoods, and higher potential for headaches;  in addition, appreciation in these zips has probably maxed out for a while.

Then they'll charge an additional $2,400 for filing tax returns. 

I don't have the 10% for the down but thinking of using a HELOC to get the money and then add it into the calculator.

Do they value nicer finishes and design or is that additional cost lost on the typical tenant in that pocket?

.- Tell them they'll have to provide you with a copy of their renter's insurance naming you as additional named insured, with a minimum of (I use $300,000) liability insurance, also before they move into the unit.It's not perfect, but it's a start toward a tenant transparency.

After some additional research we have decided to focus on the aforementioned markets, but I will keep you in mind if we decide to look at Columbus more closely in the future.
