I have been talking with a few other real estate investors, some suggest to create a website to funnel potential tenants, setting up an automation phone line, and a callers list for screened tenants.currently have two rental properties.

I’m in Ohio, so I can purchase a property with $40k cash out, invest $10k in repairs, and rent for a couple hundred above the monthly operating costs.

Perhaps I could help with some recommendations for other contractors to bid on the roof and foundation or even a new property manager.

For investments, you'll likely want a conventional loan for commercial properties.

For example, index funds could be a no brainer for investing in the stock market.  

Critically, he's filling a gap: turn-key, entry-level homes are scarce in Chicago, creating a strong demand for his rehabbed properties.

Recent purchases were financed at 4.25% fixed for 10 years, and 4.75% fixed for 30 years. 

Hello,Not sure if this is the right place for this question (if not, please let me know and I will correctly post).I currently rent out 2 homes.

@Amy Jones are you looking to remotely self-manage or looking for referrals to property management companies?

If you can get "boots on the ground" to go look at the state that the property is in for you, then yes go for it.
