The issue you may also run into is from a tax perspective, but I am not the expert on that.This seems too complex honestly and one of those, you cannot figure out what could go wrong until its too late scenarios.

I really appreciate your responses.I have a unique perspective as I'm not looking to buy real estate myself.

I saw those regulations too and forgot when I was considered from an investor's perspective.

And Detroit has been historically stronger than Ohio from a cash flow perspective.

Engaging with others can provide new perspectives and strategies that you might not have considered.Remember, the key to thriving in real estate is continuous learning and building a strong network.

However, I am looking to see if fellow investors have strong perspectives one way or another - If you had a fixed amount of capital that you could invest, would you invest in Huntsville or Greenville? 

It's just helpful to get other perspectives. 

Then from a "getting business" perspective you will be able to document your story and share it with others to attract leads. 

If you both have the time, checkout my YT page for a couple of in depth podcasts with past clients who have bought in NYC with the same perspective that you're looking at things through. 

From a house hacking perspective there have been good options around 400k because you can get more per room than renting out the whole house, especially for mid term rentals.i don’t think any real deals exist anymore- just cheaper than nearby Frederick County.
