I view real estate investing as another wealth building tool in my tool kit.

The #1 way to build a pile of money?

@Craig Holland Land is often sold with owner financing, in part because buyers have a hard time financing it, and in part because buyers often only need a short time before they can build on the land and refinance out of the seller loan. 

It's exciting to see your focus on building a real estate portfolio for financial freedom!

I'm not an expert in these markets nor turn key but ohio is a great state to invest. our strategy has always been buying below market or building below market 

You'll likely also reduce your cost of living by moving to a stabilized apartment.Depending on the cashflow and debt paydown, you can use this strategy until you've built enough equity to reinvest.On the other hand, getting into a multi-family after refinancing will also help you build substantial equity to rinse and repeat in the coming years.

So focus on lead generation.Once you have that covered, then yes you do need to have a bit of insight on the workings of the transaction.But all this should be easy to figure out the moment you keep commonsense in play.Start with getting in touch with a wholesaler-friendly attorney for your closings (if you are in an attorney state), and build a relationship with him (that is also what I did)..He should guide you along the way as you go.

I would recommend calling the city building dept, they are easy to get in touch with and a lot more helpful than other municipalities in the area.

I'd bring island out a little more. my advice is make sure all rooms are 110 sq ft minimum. some of these look super small. we build a very similar one in our market.
