AI developments are being referred to as more significant than the Industrial Revolution by very intelligent and established tech leaders.This IS going to change things drastically and probably much quicker than most realize.The question I have is this:AI will likely be the most extreme deflationary effect ever experienced by mankind. 

The company I mentioned before (iMortgage) does $35K max VA renovation loans that can be used for any kind of renovation, similar to the FHA 203K Streamlined loan.This means the only base I haven't covered is a renovation loan that allows for more than $35K (not new construction), similar to the Full FHA 203K loan and the conventional Fannie Mae Homestyle renovation loan.It took looking around a lot to find just the two I've found so far, so it's hard, but not impossible to find lenders.

Hi Michael,I like your thoughts of building a large portfolio because it's very important in sub $100,000 markets like Ohio.A large portfolio = A safe portfolio.Personally, I've always been a big believer in buying with cash.Less is more.Once you gain experience and understanding the true income vs expenses of your portfolio.Then look at using leverage for faster growth.It takes many years to learn a market along with establishing a solid understanding of it's "in's and out's" from a people/team perspective.As investors we should always reverse engineer and protect the bottom line first and foremost before looking toward expansion and growth.My "cash only" mentality has served me well over the years in my businesses and real estate endeavors.Especially when things turned South and they always eventually do.Start slow, start small, buy with cash and build from there.Just my opinion and wishing you much successps.

I know I can probably house hack my way to 5 properties in 5 years, but I assume I'll probably learn more efficient and aggressive ways to scoop up more properties as I complete my 2nd-3rd house hack, so that I can start picking up more than 1 property per year.I don't want properties that will take a lot to fix up, I'm fine with cosmetics and do-it-yourself type things.
