@Yooni Choi managing from out of state (OOS) with ZERO previous landlord experience - probably won't go well.You WILL make a lot of mistakes that will cost you money.

If you’re interested in investing in real estate, you can consider doing so with a Self-Directed IRA to defer taxes on capital gains until you actually withdraw the funds from your IRA.

I would just be cautious, as there are some rough neighborhoods in both Akron and Cleveland that seem attractive due to the cash flow but will be money pits after the vandalism and vacancy. 

I'm still waiting for luck;-) Actually, when I work Hard/Smart luck does appear;-)

Alternatively, investing in money markets is another consideration.

We actually do a real estate investor meetup on the first Saturday of the month in Kihei at South Maui Gardens.

I actually aim for not having any one real estate investment make up more than 1% of my net worth.

When something goes wrong (like HVAC) do they have the money to get up and going again or have you just lost your business and all your effort cohosting a property that isn't well maintained?

Do you have any idea of the amount of money you can contribute to the purchase of a property?

My top locations for luxury Oregon Coast Real Estate Investment, estates and ranches are: - Brookings, Gold Beach and Bandon - One of the few stretches beyond Big Sur that you can actually drive along the Pacific Coast Highway at altitude.
