Start small, refine your process, and use your network to connect with local investors and seasoned professionals for guidance.Good luck!

From leaving my home friends and family I met some really good people and I hoped to share that experience and learn more about realestate in the process How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Starting the pre-approval process and it's been easy so far, but I do like to hear from people who have used a company before.

I would not buy a new vehicle just to get a write off - Only if you planned to get a new car anyway(I.E. if your old car is worn out).A lot of people are focused on deducitons but not focused on the income coming in / out.Best of luck!

They don't write books, do seminars or post on social media.

I stumbled upon Deal Machine as a tool to aid in the process.

I'm sure there are great, stable areas in Columbus but I'm not convinced the appreciation has been as strong as most would lead you to believe.I don't know much about Cincinnati, but one glance at the median list price over the past 5 years (attached below) would be enough for me to write it off as not appreciating.I'm personally partial to Detroit and that's where I invest and do a lot of business with other folks as well.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

I went through this whole process recently of researching for Real Estate CPA and finally went with referral from friend that also invests in real estate. 

I imagine you’re right about the eviction and at the end of the day it will cost me some money, but at least I’ll learn the process and how to better screen tenants (I inherited this one).If you ever get up to Boston let me know.
