To stretch the title to proper English, I have an FHA qualified Buyer.

@Dennis Maynard aside from Jay, nobody has really responded to your question...Columbus, Ohio is arguably the premier investment destination in the US right now for good reason...an easy visual for where our market is heading.To your question, small MF properties are king here with OOS investors...2-4 units comprise 90% of all MF inventory in the area by virtue of being a popular build throughout the 20's, 30's, 40's and 50's before LIHTC flooded the market with larger MF complexes.....

Thanks for the sideways compliment on my writing, I used to teach English before I realized I could make a lot more money swinging a hammer and chasing rent.I use Night Owl's most basic DVR systems, including at my primary. 

Thanks Jodi Graf for having such an amazing brokerage - Premier Point Realty LLC that allows me to use my real estate license as a tool to help me build our portfolio.

Could someone please explain this in plain English.

Detroit is slowly falling off the map and has been for decades...this isn't changing, Phoenix is next level...high growth and rapid appreciation...i.e. unaffordable...and Plano is not really an option unless you are looking at serving affluent tenants...I think Columbus is head and shoulders above any of these markets...it's arguably the premier investment destination in the US right now.

My family is from South Sudan and moved here right before I was born, being a first generation immigrant, and my mom not being able to speak english we’ve had our fair share of struggles over the years.

My husband is also a licensed realtor with Premier Point Realty.

Hey Daniel - I use Joel Megee with Premier Service Title for both my on-market and off-market/wholesale deals. 

But I have to warn you about the sadness inherent in the road you are about to embark on, and give you one piece of advice.A lot of people have very strong opinions about this topic and no one is comfortable consider that their whole financial belief system might be in grave error.If you go from being less than financially successful to most of your friends (as something like an English language teacher) to more financially successful than most of your friends (as something like a real estate investor), you're going to realize that for some of these "friends," a very big reason they felt comfortable around you was because you initially validated their mistaken financial worldview.
