Quote from @Gino Cerrone: Focus on finding employment.

all these incentives are simply keeping up with what other states are doing to bring in employment. the only reason INTEL lost the chips fab to OHIO is there was no land big enough IN Hillsboro at the time..

So, you signed up to double taxation of yourself, including the 15.6% self-employment tax. 

What are the top 5 zip codes in Columbus, OH with the highest rental cash flow, lowest turnover/vacancies, lowest crime rates, great schools, and great employers for residential 2-4 unit single-family home neighborhoods?

These can also incur "self employment tax" - SET.

I think you may have your understanding backwards as a very common strategy is for people to contribute to their 401(k) through their employer to get the full match, and then roll those contributions into a ROTH account at the IRS maximum per year (currently $7k).

Transition from employee to employer.

That is real estate investing.Some people might call wholesaling a way to get into real estate investing, and you can technically do that without any experience (whether you are successful is a whole other can of worms, but you can spend a lot of time).Becoming a real estate agent can be done straight out of college and a lot of agents are real estate investors.But anything self employed like wholesaling, flipping or becoming an agent will keep you from getting loans too.  

Hi Jesse,In my personal opinion, since the primary reason you are doing the work is for the benefit of your employer rather than for your own rental properties, I would be inclined to say no.
