It often takes living and breathing the industry around the clock for a few years before you start seeing consistent returns.

The state that I live in is also not landlord friendly.  

I'm 100% overseas now and no longer feel bound to invest in the city I live in.

After buying this house, I partnered with others to invest in a duplex in the Wichita area.At the moment, I’m living in Tennessee, and I’m weighing two options: either selling my house and using the proceeds to buy a duplex in Overland Park or Wichita with my partners, or keeping the house for another 3 years, transferring it to our LLC, and renting out the entire property to maximize its rental potential ( $1400-$1600 ) I currently owe $200k on the property with a 6.5% interest rate, and my monthly payment is between ($1,700-$1800).

To me it was most important to have a group of 6-15 people that I felt I could really connect with and we could help each other in the area where I live

If not again you would be better off buying your own home and having enough yard/space for all of them but 13 is still way to many dogs unless you live on a farm or own acres of land.I have worked in the banking business and have seen people lose their homes that they rent due to landlords kicking them out with very little warning due to breach of contract or a No pet rule. 

Property in Ohio is cheaper than where you live because it’s less desirable and will always attract less desirable tenants with higher maintenance and more evictions.

Hope I live long enough to see your idea come to fruition.

I'm not sure if you're aware but STRs are not legal in JC unless you the owner live in the building
