Is there anyone on here who did not quit claim and is ok with having property in personal name?

I was doing checks on people who never lived out of my state and getting a clean background but they weren't searching the only state this person ever lived in.  

Hey Jerry, I personally invest in the Columbus market and have been doing it for the past couple years.

THAT is what a legit person says in that segment.

My goal is to purchase a small multi-family property with an FHA loan that I can self-manage while retaining my day job as a software engineer.I have been causally reading books, listening to podcasts, and self-educating on personal finance and different asset classes for the last 2 years before finally deciding on real estate; but I still feel like I do not know enough to go at it alone.

Feel free to reach out if you need any help.

Not disregarding wholesalers at all (I truly appreciate them and think they have a place in the market) but I feel yucky simply saying sell me your house for penny's on the dollar which is the primary reason for including the other options listed above.

It’s all about what you pull from the person.

Remember, building a relationship takes time, and showing genuine interest in your neighbor as a person can lead to a more fruitful conversation down the line. 

Personally, we are on pace to sell more properties this year than the number of acquisitions for the first time since I started doing REI in 2017.
