The most passive investments would probably be REIT investment, but the returns are only moderate and you are trusting the management. 

I have not quantified your risk tolerance, but from what you stated it looks like you are not particularly aggressive and might be moderate or slightly below.  

Because you'll likely be using barely enough mortar for repair jobs like this, t's usually wise to use the most highly-modified and expensive thinset mortar you can afford for this sort of thing.Let the installed tile set for a day and then apply premixed mortar with a putty knife and your finger (and perhaps a float) to fill in the gaps around the tile.From Moderator: Personal insults add nothing to the discussion.

@Ben Gammon you may want to put this under Classifieds forum as it's personal promotion and the moderators will remove it.

I'd like to own a distressed 2 flat, and begin diving into the areas.The goal would be a to take a 10 year plan of moderate - high risk, and turn $900K into retirement money by 50.

So yes, you might be able to get a 10% discount when rates drop to 5%, but that might be 3+ years.I am a permabull, so I think any current indigestion will work itself out and we’ll see moderate gdp growth and moderate housing appreciation.

I've had moderate success as a mobile hoke investor in L.A. but would like to branch out into multifamily and Ohio seems to have cheap buy in.

The months of May and September do rent out but unsure if they would be at 100% occupancy (so want to exclude them from any calculation).Its hard to gauge what weekly rentals would be without a having a home but weekly estimate would be for the exact home but my estimates are:$3k - Conservative, $5k - Moderate, $7k - liberal (July and August), the month of June is probably a 25% reduction.

@Geoffrey Rickaby if you're going to be recommending PMCs, you should better understand how each operates to protect YOUR reputation.My manager wrote a blog series here on BP about interviewing PMCs, but if I share the link here the BP moderators will consider it self-promotion:(
