I do plan to consult my real estate attorney who handled the closing but this is his busiest week of the year, so I definitely don’t want to bug him with something that isn’t extremely urgent until after the New Year.

I currently have around 100k tied up in sticks right now which I would prefer to leave in and just continue to save with the plan of getting a place in the next few years, I would get a second job to raise the funds.

At this point, I'm planning on contacting the county and the auditor, but before I do this, I wanted to find out if anyone on here has had a similar experience in Cincinnati and if they've found any success in appealing property taxes.With gratitude,Trevor

To simplify the existing lease I thought about asking the tenant if they would be ok modifying the addendums to get rid of the resident benefit package and the building protection plan. 

If you're working on other projects during that time, it could create an issue, as it would for any employer.Why not be upfront with your boss and let them know you're planning to get your real estate license?

ThanksWhy do you think the city would approve that and how are you planning on getting plumbing in?

Network with experienced investors, choose a real estate strategy, research markets with job and population growth, learn financing options, familiarize yourself with property management, develop a long-term plan, and leverage your stock experience to evaluate markets and trends.Good luck!

It cash flows without the utilities split but I am planning to hold onto for a long time so splitting the utilities seems to make sense.

Used houses in the area sell anywhere from $75-125 a square foot.These are long term rentals that I do not plan to sell.I am reading the Rental Property Investing book and implementing the method that focuses on cash flow and that strategy states you need to have $300 cash flow per month, per property.

For example, more downpayment means less interest rate regardless or whatever loan.I am trying to see what sort of action I can take right now so I can plan detailed and measured steps to my goal.
