I've spent too much time picking the brains of the STR group at City Hall and think I've got a good idea of where they are at!

So its been 3 months, how many have you picked up and how's it going ? 

What they allowed us to do was have a lease signed on the property for the 10 acres of corn with the local farmer that planted the corn and after the corn was picked, all farming activities on the property would be stopped and no farming would be allowed to continue. 

Next, pick your plan for investing.

I know people will spend more time picking a pair of shoes or an appliance than they will investing in a syndication or even buying a property.

Most people try to "build a team" prematurely.If you are trying to invest out of state, you are most likely picking a market that a lot of other investors are in.

I know I can probably house hack my way to 5 properties in 5 years, but I assume I'll probably learn more efficient and aggressive ways to scoop up more properties as I complete my 2nd-3rd house hack, so that I can start picking up more than 1 property per year.I don't want properties that will take a lot to fix up, I'm fine with cosmetics and do-it-yourself type things.

It can start with coffee and lunch but you can really pick their brains on all those aforementioned issues just for free.

Columbus, Ohio is a great market to pick up rental properties because of the lower home prices and demand from renters.

If you want to nit-pick reality, I guess I could get on-board… but the general concept is that you make allowances for the things you are talking about.
