The real problem is that the vast number of beginning investors never bother to learn their state landlord tenant codes before they invest.This is my pet peeve with new investors...trying to operate a business requiring knowing the law without having the desire to learn.They should never be allowed near tenants, they need a PM.On the other hand responsible investors that learn the laws first I would strongly advise self managing.

For the past 4 years I have also owned an interior design firm that specializes in STR design and full service interior design. 

I had a call with an accounting firm this morning and he mentioned something like he is not a CPA so he is not able to represent like CPA.What does it mean?

University Circle is a solid area, and homes in the Edgewater neighborhood are also desirable.

You may have to start in a less desirable area or a home that needs some work or is more dated to get started, even with the house hack.

The neighborhood is desirable, so renting it wouldn't be difficult but it would be niche because of its size (4/3, office, dual living rooms, game room).

Suggest treating the areas and possibly installing sister boards to firm up the beams.

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

A location like beachfront property or a desirable class A neighborhood.

Until you have a firm grasp of these 2 questions, everything else is irrelevant.
