Getting greedy tends to cause investors to be sloppy and I 100% agree with @Ken M. no good deed goes unpunished in all areas of life. 

You and I both know, nothing is free in life.

I work full time at a decent job, but have quickly learned that I needed to make some changes in my families life by securing our financial future. 

Anything you buy in the Columbus Ohio market is currently blow up in terms of appreciation growth so it's one of those markets you want to hold the real estate for the rest of your life.

My dream is to achieve financial freedom through multifamily rental properties and live life on my own terms.Recently, I have been reading one book after another, trying to absorb as much information as possible, and am extremely thankful to finally find this amazing community.

I had false beliefs that it takes money to make money my whole life.

Businesses are “living” organisms with a life of their own, usually having deep meaning to their owners.  

This place has changed my life and I couldn't be happier.

Oversimplifying it just a bit, the investor profits from:- a non-refundable option paid by the tenant-buyer which gives them the right to purchase the property within their option period- the spread between the rent paid by the investor to the property owner and the rent paid to the investor by the tenant-buyer over the life of the option- the spread between the price ultimately paid by the investor when they exercise their option with the owner and the price ultimately paid by the tenant-buyer when they exercise their option with the investorClear as mud?

Life and business are complicated.
