So, the wholesaler can say things about a property with MUCH MUCH MUCH less scrutiny than an agent can.

If you want good cash flow but amazing appreciation potential and rentals you want to hold for the rest of your life, I would definitely consider Columbus!

Quote from @Scott Trench: What I have seen in my own life was this..- Working a W2 as a firefighter, posting and consuming content- Leaving my W2 to dive deep into real estate investing and working as an agent... and still watching/posting content all while business was ok - Deleting social media apps (one have one on my phone that I use 10 minutes or less a day), diving deep into building my business and skills which have drastically increased due to pure focus and increasing my business significantly- moral of the story... focus on the things you need to do in business (dollar productive activities) and life experiences while reducing consumption will increase your success  

A 10-page life vision is too much and too detailed.

My wife and I are extremely thankful to you all for helping us take this next journey in life. 

We put the 20% down, but then life happened.

do you acquire these properties off the MLS ?  

We are the owner and landlord of the properties, not the operators.

Of course my nosey self had to go look up your rental property.

My recommendation is to partner with th someone who has a lot more experience before jumping into a syndication after owning one property for less than a year.
