I would love to get a property in the NW DC that is run down, add additional floors and then make it an apartment building.

@Jimmy O'Connor I noticed that only trendy bars and coffee shops was one of your top mentions… I think you should also consider school district - at least when it comes to building a rental portfolio in these areas.

If you want to be generating leads from a website, SEO will help with credibility and long term visibility, and an attractive website will also help with building credibility and trust too.

Since I work full-time, my near term focus is building my property portfolio and maximizing the tax benefit. 

Hey Lucas, if you already have built connections and a solid foundation of knowledge in Akron, I would keep building the portfolio there! 

We are currently building many investment Single Family Homes on independent lots that focus on maximizing rent.

After years of focusing on my career and building financial stability, I’m ready to dive into real estate investing and start creating passive income and long-term wealth.My short-term goal is to purchase my first duplex or single family rental. 

Do people other than tenants in the building have access to the area?

Thank you I almost fell for it any  what cram that also does commercial buildings 

You know this and the reason I am saying that I am considering in getting a real state license is the connections, the access to listing off market and possibility of earning commission that I can use to increase my portfolio.I think that being an investor agent will help me build a reputation and that can be good or bad.
