@Hai Loc, yes you can evict in Columbus but just FYI, make sure in addition to the cost of the eviction court and attorney, you include up to 2-3 months of non-payment and the costs associated with the rent ready rehabs of the unit afterwards in your calculations. 

Additionally, you can "house hack" by buying a new primary residence every year, but be cautious not to genuinely occupy each property.Good luck!

I just joined my local REIA (South Bay Chapter (LAC-REIA)) to also help me find additional information.A quick snapshot of my current status and goals. 

I have a duplex in Rosewood, Columbia SC and I spoke with the City of Columbia zoning to ask if I can add an additional unit to the property.

@Ben EinspahrHouse hacking in Denver metro areas involves lenders reporting rental income on Schedule E, accepting 75% of STR/MTR income from lease agreements or appraiser's estimates, and requiring additional proof via tax returns.

We’ve found doing value add to be a way to force appreciation and add cash flow when we got our house… we added an ADU and house hack with a midterm rental to generate the additional income and make a bigger home actually affordable but still flexible for when family visit 

And as call center worked the area, 2-3 additional mailers went out. 

Hiring a certified cost segregation specialist can provide additional insight to your situation. 

The downside will be I will not be able to pull initial investment out for five years and my IRA deposit will not lower my AGI (if I am over income limits).Any additional input?

I'm familiar with the areas you mapped out and would be happy to discuss our market if you'd like some additional information?
