For you to be in the game 2 years Im impressed and see you are headed to much bigger things.

It may be a difficult game to get into in 20 years, yet many will find a way and the cycle will continue, so long as the US is still standing.Ultimately, none of us has a crystal ball, we can only look at history.Conversations like these have been going on since the dawn of man and will continue. 

Soon, there will be a ton of posts below from agents in Columbus and Cleveland to "help" you, but you already know where you want to be.I wouldn't be thinking STR for Ohio unless you are doing woodsy, which can work, but the table stakes are high on those (swimming holes, saunas, game rooms, hot tubs).

Gotta 1 up @Jonathan Greene its for sure a different and more relational game.

You can find Dean Harris's videos on you tube. 

In my opinion, house hacking is the easiest way to get into the RE game with the lowest money out of pocket...plus if you throw in a renovation loan like the 203k or homestyle, you can boost your worth quickly!
