Quote from @John Paul Palace: Our plan was to invest locally, however our market here is tough.

@Emily ShinHouse hacking a multi-family property is an excellent way to start investing in real estate, especially in a market like Columbus, Ohio, which offers affordability and growth potential.

Also, if the market shifts and values drop while you wait out the two years, you might not come out ahead.

You’ve already got a solid foundation—understanding market trends, deal structuring, and negotiations will give you a great head start.I would recommend focusing on learning one niche at a time.

And for once I bought at the right time in the market 6 years ago.. just my property taxs will save me 1k a month compared to Oregon..

The markets have changed quickly, and what worked 5 years ago may differ significantly from what will drive success today.

@Jim LynchSome typical minimum tenant screening requirements look like the following, but it depends on your market:-Renter has a gross monthly income of 3x more than the monthly rent-Minimum credit score of 650-Renter must have no prior evictions-No felons (or other notable criminal history)There are a number of different tenant screening softwares out there such as Zillow Rental Manager, TransUnion SmartMove, etc.Be sure to complete an employment verification by contacting the renter's employer and confirm the details they shared with you, landlord verification (if they have a previous landlord), credit check, and background check.
