Investing in real estate is a great way to generate passive income and wealth if you are in a position to do so.

I’m in Ohio, so I can purchase a property with $40k cash out, invest $10k in repairs, and rent for a couple hundred above the monthly operating costs.

The reason it is harder to get a mortgage on a primary home vs investment property is a federal law called "ability to repay" or ATR. 

When my wife and I started out we new we wanted to invest but did not know how to, we took action and unfortunately found a family friend realtor (amazing learning experience) then we found bigger pockets. 

Looking for advice and suggestions for a Roth IRA Custodian I'm looking to roll over a traditional IRA to a Self-directed Roth by the end of the year, and use that for my investing.

A trip to look for a good investment or to make some contacts that can potentially be lucrative. 

"Nobody will manage your investment better than you will."

So, it's still NOT a good idea to try to invest by zip codes - which are too big in our opinion/experience.
