I think one of the biggest analysis paralysis thoughts is on landlord- or tenant-friendly areas.

You have a long great career on FOX and friends.

Shout out to permit professionals like Roy Hasson (just a friend in LA specializing in navigating permit process - this is not a business play we do not work together), who are dedicated to helping others and will likely develop similar resources to support their communities through the rebuilding process.If you’re working on rebuilding efforts or have questions, feel free to connect with me—I’d love to collaborate.

Also if any NJ agents that are familiar with using these and transitioning out of them can reach out for some advice and education that would be great seeing that I will need an investor Friendly agent over here to help guide me through everything.

Do you build it with the intention of renting it or just for family/friend use?

Buying a property under general partnership with 2 other friends.

Akron is a very blue city and are not very landlord friendly - source of income protections, etc... 

A friend of mine had a similar journey - they turned their old home into a rental property and soon realized they loved managing tenants and exploring ways to add value.

I've had qualified renters move into a rental, add their bum friends or family members, and then disappear, leaving me with bad renters who weren't approved and aren't on the lease.The best practice is to screen every adult, approve them, and add them to the lease. 

I heard about bigger pockets from a friend of mine that has successfully built and rented multiple properties in our area.
