also what part of columbus ohio is considered good, low on crime, fast developing yet still affordable to buy a house?  

You can actually get an even better deal on the front end by getting things like closing costs and commissions covered by the seller and sometimes even under listing price. 

@Todd WinesI'm getting ready to sell six units in Clarksville, TN. 3 duplexes on 2 adjacent parcels.

The potential issues can be a large list depending on the jurisdiction.Good luck

There’s a lot of potential there, especially with its population growth and strong rental demand.Since you’re focusing on single family homes and aiming for long-term cash flow, it’s smart to start by clarifying your strategy (fix to rent, buy & hold, BRRRR) to guide your decisions.

Hopefully grow that to $10k/m in 2025, then JV on deals with my family while traveling.

How many times have we heard, but I just put on a $20,000 roof. 

Hey @Mordechai Chaimovitz - It sounds like you are talking about Chicago's NW side because there are definitely tons of areas in Chicago where a 2 flat can cashflow well.I know for me buying on the nw side was critical to my personal well-being and life happiness. 

I am on a similar journey...

Partnering with an amazing agent and focusing on flipping/a normal job/different business can be a lot easier than trying to learn the ins and outs of sales as a Realtor.
