If you're already in a secure financial position, leveraging your equity could be a smart strategy.

I do single family "off market" that I take over with owner financing, subject to, wraps and lease options.

I’m curious to know what others think about these options.

Buying a turn key rental, in an area you know or knew well, with a property manager you've met and trust, in an area that is large enough for you to have other options to find contractors and property managers? 

Hi hive,I am new to investing and trying to learn from the different options out there.

If you can buy with 20 percent an hour away, as you said, that seems like the best option if the finances and numbers work for you.

Your home needs to be in good shape (sounds like it is) and very competitively priced in order to have the few looking choose it instead of another option. 

I don't know where to invest, really drawn to Columbus for many reasons (some cash flow and stable appreciation)--what's been some people's positive and negative experiences in Columbus? 

Might be time to have a conversation about expectations—or consider other options if he’s not the right fit.
