I shouldn't assume Fumi that you are female and if you are, you have to be even more cautious about having strangers in your home.  

I wouldn't touch Franklinton with a 10' pole on the existing inventory side. gravity 2 is being auctioned and sold by the developer the area didn't support office developer lost millions:https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2024/12/19/gravity...linden I agree on if you can get a good deal. super fast appreciation. small homes, close to downtown, you can look at year over year and it's going up fast but also fast to change. any urban adjacent neighborhood is going to be good. 

I'd love to hear if anyone has become a licensed/certified home inspector to support their journey as a real estate investor.

Now, I’m rebuilding my portfolio while continuing to help others buy and sell homes.

This includes trips to properties for evaluations, trips to Home Depot, etc. 

Depends on the actual deal I have seen 85/15 rarely 90/10 but keep in mind your primary home will have a second lien on it typically if your LTV is over 75%. 

Unfortunately, there was a stop work order in place on the property, which the roofing contractor was told by BTC was resolved.  

Single-gender homes are only for transitional housing (like soberliving houses, halfway houses, etc). 

I'd definitely get an average priced property (something that is a starter home) in a good area. 

These markets offer affordable homes, many of which are turnkey (new builds or fully rehabbed), with properties that have 10+ years of life left and are ready for tenants.
