Big welcome.. do you have a specific neighborhood in mind, or are you still exploring?

OTM = General, overhead/widescreen view of nationwide market tends.BPRE = Detailed ways specific people are making money in real estate.

They were general questions, not specific to my account but extremely helpful.

Does that operational aspect have to devour all cash-flow, no not necessarily but it could, all depending on situation specifics right. 

Specifics on how to start are all appreciated!

Have you explored specific neighborhoods yet?

I can also share some great resources and guides to get you started.Let me know what specifically you're looking to learn, and we can set up a time to talk.

The specifics of your situation will determine where you might need to fall on that spectrum of holding period.

We specialize in auction properties all over Ohio but specifically in cuyahoga county.

I'd estimate your cash flow after you pay the loan payment would be $600-$800, which a lender that understands investment real estate should give you some credit for on your DTI.As for a bank, I have a specific lender at NBI that I would recommend.
