Hi AllI am a STR expert but new in the long term rental game.

On top of all of that, it boasts one of the best college football teams Ohio State Buckeyes, which is very well known and has a cult following, and attracts a lot of people to the games. 

Hi,I am a single family home investor, however we are looking to sell our primary home in Chicago and moving to Dallas this summer.We have bought the Chicago home in Nov'22.

I have a property I purchased cash underwent reno and was listed in available to rent in Nov.

After a few years of struggle with a "easement driveway" between the home, we were able to purchase that property in Nov 2023 for 20k.

Appreciation is a long term game (10 years plus) because you don't know short term fluctuations.

Not only is this prudent business management but if you're looking to scale down the line, having a creditworthy entity that can take business loans in its own name is a game-changer regarding risk allocation.

With so little inventory and bid wars , and hundreds of showings of each property to some fake buyer who never intends to buy house, I don't think Erics in this game are in any particular disadvantage compared to "licensed" REAs (licensed is in quotation marks,  since a lot of people seem to put too much significance into obtaining it, as if it was a law degree from Ivy League school).

Remember, games aren't won from the sidelines...ya gotta play to win! 

House hacking is a great way to jump into the game.
