It’s not ideal, but it’s fine. 

In addition, Columbus is home to some of the nation's most prestigious universities, such as Ohio State University, making it an ideal destination for both students and professionals.

I am ideally looking for an online course that includes a community and group coaching feature (on Zoom or something like that) where we can ask questions.2) If you are local to St.

Ideally I'd like to rent this property and use the equity to acquire more properties. 

Ideally I am looking to purchase a place as an owner occupied rental and rent by the room to those who I already know need a place to stay and eventually turn that property into a September-May student rental and rent it as a vacation home during the summer months!

Ideally you want to improve to the minimum it takes to make a descent rental for the area.  

A house hack is like that beginner run (but BRRR'ing, wholesaling, and out-of-state investing are more like double black diamonds).The fact of the matter is: real estate is often a high-stakes endeavor, and the more advanced strategies (like BRRR'ing, wholesaling, flipping, out of state investing, etc.) can easily bankrupt a beginner when they're executed poorly.Plus, HH'ing is an ideal strategy while you're young...when you're in your 20s/early 30s, it's pretty common to live with housemates (or to live in a duplex next to your tenants), but this arrangement becomes much less feasible once you get further into your 30s/40s (especially if you start a family).Now, having said all that, house hacking is not necessarily easy (if it were, everyone would do it!)...

If the rehab is a reasonable amount, it may be ideal to find a Private Lender and pay them interest.  

House-hacking is an ideal way to get started on your investment journey as it can help cover most of your mortgage expenses while you keep saving up.

Not ideal of course, but anyone that tells you that they didn't make mistakes when they started out is full of poop!
