I do not have much knowledge on real estate but I am the hitting  books: BRRRR by David Greene, Estimating Rehab cost by J.Scott, Investing real estate with no/low money down by Brandon Turner and finally, Rental property investing by Brandon Turner.Outside of real estate, I enjoy swimming, bike riding, watching anime, playing video games and interests in the stock/house market.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

A fun thing I do: I host board games night every week to meet and connect with strangers. 

35 years in the game wanting to go next level, grow myself as I grow others.  

@Gino Barbaro I would love to be able to take you up on that offer, but I am moving to Europe for my next duty station in March but I will continue to follow Jake & Gino over seas to stay motivated and in the game!

The property you're buying will probably outlive you, and this is a long game. 

Also remembered to play the long game, the entire southwest of the country will have no water soon and there will be mass migration to the Great Lakes bordering states.https://www.realtor.com/research/top-housing-markets-2024/ I don't like Toledo anymore.Too many out of state investors are here now making the market better than ever.It's frustrating growing the business so much.Preferred snail pace growth like when we first started hehe

If most of your competition has a pool, I'd go that route and try to add something indoors like a game room.

The downside is this is a very expensive game to get into.With medium term rentals, it will be less management but monthly revenue will be lower.

We are both motivated, but seems like there are too many options to choose from, I feel like storage for boats/cars/RV’s is my end game, so I can spend my days fishing lol!

Regardless if you live-in the property or not it's a numbers game.
