@Emily ShinHouse hacking a multi-family property is an excellent way to start investing in real estate, especially in a market like Columbus, Ohio, which offers affordability and growth potential.

As someone who occasionally works with these investors, I always try to emphasize the challenges that come with real estate like managing renovations, dealing with tenants, and navigating market fluctuations.

I believe that is safe to say for most markets in the US regarding either SFH or MF.

What market?

It would be a good idea to assess your tolerance to risk and then plan something like that, but using a heloc is going to be around 9-11% in this market so to pay something off with lower interest rate to borrow more might not make much sense.

I took the time to check out his site as i was curious.. and its a mastermind.. what i think could add value is that the frequency is there to keep someone on track.. the mastermind i went to is just quarterly then you hook up on facebook and facebook is basically showing all the members and their wives on the latest and greatest world trip they took or the building they just bought.. not a lot of real help for someone trying to get from here to there.. i think in that group most of them had on going business's like myself and there is fine tuning being done IE how to run a staff how to implimnet VA's how to run your sales crews .. other types of marketing ideas and tips.. this one looked to be not quite as real estate centric but I could be wrong as he had to add in passive income which of course is the buzz word for most who think that is what is going to create a better life for them ..  

I understand they may do up to 30% actual real estate, mfh mainly.That is a higher risk IMO, especially in this market. 

As a GA native and investor, I love Savannah, but I haven't invested there yet, partially because y'all are so dominant in the market :) I would caution, however, that there is "no way to do background checks".

There are many factors, as with any real estate market:(1) Location. 

However; the real estate market here hasn't stopped at all, and it's blazing.
