My wife and I moved down to Central Florida from Hamburg just over 5 years ago and are running our own brokerage and property management company. 

Short Term Rental Management with Luke Carl is a good podcast for learning about management.

Hi Kyle, I would recommend chatting with a property manager in the specific city of Ohio you're looking to buy in.

And the elected officials and tenants wonder why rent keeps going up so much.I have been having to put in a lot of fire systems in properties we manage. 

While I haven’t chosen a specific niche yet, I’m leaning toward purchasing a multi-unit apartment where my 20-year-old son could live and help manage while we rent out the other units—essentially a form of house-hacking.So far, I’ve connected with a few real estate agents and gained MLS access, which has been a great starting point.

Since your condo prohibits LLC ownership, you can manage rent and expenses through the LLC while keeping the property in your name.

My wife and I self manage a mix of short, mid, and long term rentals.

However, I manage about 60 houses so they want to keep my business. 

I sponsor a monthly meetup of property managers based in DFW.

Getting one property and cashflowing it will be a challenge. you can try seller financing but you are still going to be highly levered which just enhances the risk that you are taking on.The best way to grow is to focus on managing your rental, saving money through your W2 and crushing that - if you are a realtor you will make more crushing it as being a realtor than over leveraging real estate - then save for down payment and buy slowly. its not a rush.
