My approach is similar to building a rental portfolio for properties that I can give to clients that are in safe neighborhoods where I want my family to live.

If you plan on buying more rentals in the short term, Nathan's approach is the best. 

I say take a deep breath, step back, have a drink, chill-out, then approach the situation in a way to answer everything with MATH. use math, data, details to say how good or bad each property is, and to dictate what direction should be. 

Remember, there are numerous deals available, and although I'm not deeply familiar with the Columbus market, I believe you can find a more favorable opportunity with a positive net return.If your primary objective is passive income, as indicated by this scenario, investing in the S&P may indeed offer a more passive approach.

Gone is the day to use a set-and-forget approach either in real estate and the stock market.

What would be a great way to systematically follow up with listing agents?

But I think what really sets STR Secrets apart from a course, is the mindset approach they dive into.
