The one nice thing about achieving financial freedom through real estate is we have the luxury to say this and change our lives. 

Raise fees on building permits, give tax credits on renovations.Suburban sprawl really hasn't been a good thing for the US.Of course, it's all about supply & demand.But, if you can figure out why more people want to live in Hazel Park (leading to teardowns & rebuilds) versus south Warren or Eastpointe (nothing happening) then you can make millions.

House hacking with an FHA loan (3.5% down) could be a smart way to start while minimizing living expenses.

Its usually the tenants who live in the lowest tier housing that are most prone to play games and take advantage. 

(this is always what I make sure to do with all of my clients)With an FHA loan, it means you would have to owner occupy and live in Columbus Ohio.

I live in Miami Florida and I pay over $3 per square foot in rent with some going as high as $5.

Live in Florida but own properties in NY.  

I started investing in 2021 while living in San Francisco and have been pretty happy with my decision and own 13 doors in the area currently. 

Quote from @Dereck Olson: Hi Nicholas,  Just a thought from the possible tenant's perspective, but filling out a prequalification form and/or providing personal information before they have even seen a place and know if they will be interested in living in the property might be a bit too much to ask. 

I am putting in a link to something that may be help, a cost of living comparison calculator (https://www.bankrate.com/real-estate/cost-of-living-calculat...).
