@Nicholas Nakamurain order to be successful, you will need to build a network on the ground in Ohio with people you know and trust. buying a random property on the MLS in unknown condition based on other people looking at it, and putting it under management with people you have never met, will not work, and you will lose money.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...so - what's your plan? 

Section 8 can be very profitable if done the right way, at scale, by an experienced operator, but I think it's one of the hardest strategies to start doing because of tenancies and government involvement.Most new people just think it's an easy government check and there is nothing that could be further from the truth.

I’ve been in this space for a long time, coaching and investing, and I love helping people get started.

Most purposes that people on the BP forums are transferring properties to an LLC, would be exempt of the Due On Sale Clause. 

My father did this in Portland on two properties, for elderly people I think. 

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

I got tired of paying to live in other people’s homes.

I'm just beginning but am considering a bigger commitment in the next five years or so by accessing some or even all retirement funds to buy a building (I'm sure people have thoughts on whether or not that is a good idea!).

Stay hyperlocal and get a good team in place locally so you can recognize good people when you find them. 

I’m happy to be in a forum with fellow investors and people wanting to master real estate.
