OC is a great place to be in. I

The day you send money you lose control of your principal, receive title to nothing, you're at the whim of the promoter as to whether and how long you will receive any distributions and even when the deal you invested in is supposedly "successful" you're at the whim of waiting for the GP to decide to sell and return your capital plus profits.

Only question is, which you choose to see and engage in. I

@Thuy Pham-Satrappe The type of people you see in the target areas that you are searching in is typically the type of people you attract for your properties in said target area.

I doubt any tenant is going to be willing to sign a lease without knowing what furniture is going to be in the unit when they move in. I

investing driving distance is usually just a false sense of comfort. there's really not much of a difference between buying 2h away and 1000 miles away, especially if you're not a property manager or contractor by trade. investing somewhere that's truly a great market to invest in, is more important than convenience.- regarding LTR MTR STR, owning each type of rental comes with a different workload/lifestyle.

My goal now is to get a multifamily property no more than $250,000 and put 20%-30% down, get a property manager, and put an extra $4-$5k per month into the principal to pay off the mortgage in less than 3 years, but I don’t know what state to invest in, I know Ohio is being looked at but I wouldn’t have to time to see multiple properties in person and I’m not sure how to verify the operating expenses of different properties, required repairs, etc. 

Your deal was the best one I ever invested in. I

I went out right after posting my little freak out and hired a lawn care team of people whom I knew their work was good, hired a cleaning service to deep clean the property, and focused on getting fully moved in.  I
