Given their age and position in life… mailbox money flow forever sounds like a good start to retirement to me!

Hi Benjamin, I’m in japan and doing real estate investing here for about 8 years in different styles besides my full time job.

Columbus presents a little different type of investing from Cleveland but you can still find good properties that will give you some cashflow each month (not life changing but with your goal of 100 doors then it'll add up eventually).

Don't make your life more complicated than it has to be.

It would take you a life time of cash flow in Ohio to get that return.I would strongly advise you against paying cash for a $100k property.

And since your life, such as it is, consists of responding to every BP post mentioning yourself within 15 seconds, you should have no problem responding within the next, say, 1 hour with your “evidence” to back up your slanderous remark. 

Whereas, you could be on the AG's hook for screwing John Doe the homeowner out of his sole possession in his life. 

@Heather Bailey they will ask you what style of renting you plan to do.  

HELOC can be good for this situation - then you can pay it down and use it again for other life events etc. 

Charming, smaller coastal towns with a slower pace of life, natural amenities, seclusion and semi-self sustainability are high on the wish list of many high level clients and investors.
