In fact, many of their stories, just relied on, picking up a few investments in solid areas, taking care of them, and holding onto them for a long time. 

But I looking at the long game - I want valued tenants that take care of the property and minimize wasting my time.

If you have 6 digits coming in cash you can definitely spread that around wisely in Ohio using proper leverage, but I would be careful about planning to scale before your feet are even wet.

Here are a couple of SEC 8 specific criteria...1) If their court records or pay stubs show any record of garnishments, be careful because SEC 8 ignore garnishments and the applicant will have trouble paying their portion, just like any other tenant would.2) If you see an outstanding landlord judgment, call the caseworker to ask when the tenant first was accepted into the program.  

Clinton is nice as well, but be careful, lots of foundation problems there. 

Treasury notes increasing have already erased the very short-lived drop in rates and now they are even higher than before the FED cut. 

I strongly  encourage to share this information  and write an email and letter to as many state representatives and the governor to veto this bill or reverse  it.AB 2424 (Schiavo) lender does not benefit they only get what they are owed including all fee's etc.. benefit will be next in line and or the owner who lost it.. this will also cut down on the collusion that takes place at trustee sales.

Be careful with that BRRR stuff.I personally would not do Remote BRRR as there is just a lot of risk with 1) risk of embezzlement with contractors 2) change orders and 3) bank doing bait and switch doing a lower appraisal and/or LTV on the refinance.Most service providers net worth is under 500-1M net worth and I just did not feel comfortable working with them because they would screw me over when I wire over 30-50k checks to do work.

I would think very carefully about ceding control over the investment given you are all inexperienced.
