Personally I like the work part and building up to something.

Shame on those here recommending it.Similarly, don’t even consider borrowing against your personal residence—even if you could qualify.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

Your realtor should be the backbone of your business and be able to help with sending you personalized deal flow, building the rest of your real estate team (PMs, GCs, lenders, etc), showing you the good/bad neighborhoods, developing scope of work and estimating renovations, and so much more!

@Jared Goldwasseri would strongly recommend you go to Cincinnati in person. 

If the trust is disregarded and you and your wife file a joint tax return the property is reported on your personal joint return. 

Someone local who has familiarity with this would be your best person to give you the information you requested.

Do you provide personalized guidance, or is the mentorship more of a one-size-fits-all approach?

Personally, I invest in properties in C-Class neighborhoods in my market (East Linden and Southern Hilltop), and they’ve been cash-flowing well so far.

@Kayla ElliottHi Kayla - Personally, I would go with a property management company especially if you want to get out of the weeds of managing your properties, which is a large portfolio!
