I have over 30 years experience in operating office buildings in NJ and would be will to run the operating arm of these investments for a % of the deals.

I’m currently operating in South Georgia market. 

Our federal government, operationally does not function very effectively and certainly not efficiently. 

Is in there, but a great thing you can do now is get your "core 4" figured out - agent/lender/manager/contractor - obviously you can adjust this and do one of the pieces yourself (self-manage for example) or don't need a contractor if you do only turnkey etc but getting this nailed down early is key

Originally from Africa, I’ve embraced new opportunities to build a better future, and real estate is at the core of my financial freedom plan. 

Most of the core aspects of your LTR lease remain, but there are a few tweeks that I think make MTRs easier to deal with and more appealing to your customers.  

I would say if you're looking to invest, the first thing I would do is to build your CORE 4 which consists of having a great realtor, contractor, property manager, and attorney in whatever areas you decide to invest in.

But STR has restrictions here (2 bedrooms in Raleigh) (hence the hybrid option) and there is often diminishing returns when it comes to price versus number of rooms in our market in the locations I focus on. 3 bedroom numbers often are stronger and more attainable price wise than 5 in core Raleigh.

Looking forward to the journey ahead....In my experience, very few properties in Ohio are strictly required to operate as Section 8 rentals.

You didn't mention where you are operating, but depending on average home prices, I think you'll be ok.For instance if we're talkin $500k homes, and if you will get a 2.5% commission, split that 50/50 with your Broker, you will end up with $6,250 per sale, right?
