@Jagan ReddyThere is physical occupancy versus economic occupancy.

I don’t know what Minnesota has for a definition of “substantive” contact, but I bet there’s a disclosure form for denying an agency relationship when one is vetting a potential buyer who wants to see a property.

Physical investing is a whole different ballgame, you lack the tolerance and understanding of what investing entails.

As a workaround, we have a hidden lockbox that the tenant can access if code doesn't work and get a physical key.

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

I bet you already know someone that owns investment property, only they don't "appear" wealthy.Keep working (get a W2 job, or start your own business doing something that will get you around real estate), keep talking, and lead with service. 

Its a safe bet that you can make more than 3.75% on your money somewhere else with little to no risk. 

Tax (and often even zoning) designation don't change the comps for what it physically exists as.Is a residential appraiser telling you this, or are you basing this assessment only on your own understanding of these classifications? 

Mentors for me have come in the form of friendships over time, but honestly, most of them were made at an IN-PERSON MEETUP....there is something about physical energy that makes a huge difference.Happy to connect to share some of my experiences!

Physical asset investing does not grow linearly, you'll get some jabs in the face, maybe a tight slap like an AC stolen or a tenant flooding your bottom floor.
