Currently have a great job but want to start acquiring  2-4 unit complexes.

Lastly, always keep your job and build your employment foundation because that keeps you income relevant and lendable.Hey thanks for your reply!

I have done BRRRRs in Milwaukee for a decade+ and if I am not on the job 2-3 times a week, things go sub-optimal.

They have allowed me to quit my job as an Engineer. 

USDA does not.If you have a job gap (6+ months of unemployment) on an FHA loan, then you have to go back 2 years prior to the job gap AND be back to work for 6 months before you are eligible.How to avoid this? 

I do not think anyone in Cleveland will do a good job. 

Just to beat a dead horse, we could see a recession in the future where you and/or your spouse lose your jobs.

Not to mention the economic development steps the town is taking in ensuring the growth of town (roads, schools, zoning) stays on par with the future expected population growth and new jobs that are going to be a result of the new factories opening.  

experience: I’m on my 3rd flipage: early 40sday job: brand and web design/development retirement savings: noneI want to learn about buy and hold to secure having SOMETHING for retirement!

That can be a draw back if the market is on a mad run up tho.Also, I would always have enough in a heloc to cover your 401k loan in the event of job loss or if you quit your job.
