Even if he's scamming people, it's OK because he's helping people out???

There is more beyond merely setting it up though involving the operating agreement, separate accounts and books and no co-mingling and many people don't keep that piece maintained too well. 

People who can afford a property like that will buy a home themselves instead of renting(majority of the time).

There seems to be a lot of people saying invest in Ohio.

Quote from @Lee Banks: Hi my name is Lee I'm looking too buy my first rental property and but I feel as if I need a mentor to watch, I still need to learn the basics of real-estate does anyone in New York do programs or mentorships and where would you start if you first started real-estate today  Hello Lee,I'd recommend looking up local meetups here on BP, meetup.com and, eventbrite.You can also call around to speak with RE investors and professionals in your target market to begin making connections.With so much available information online, I'd recommend speaking to a few people and doing independent research before committing to mentorships.

So I don't need to "ask people in Florida" about your theories. :)And you're entitled to your opinion. 

People in my area live right next to train tracks and there are loud trains shaking the place at all hours.

As I've been doing more and more deals over the years, and gaining more and more experience I been having people reach out about how they can invest with me on future deals whether it be Buy & Hold or Flipping.

Focus on networking and learning from experienced investors—you're already ahead of 99% of people your age, so stay consistent and take action!

You have the same problem most people have.
