You forgot to mention though, that trying to get local experts to work for free will lead to getting what you paid for.

Spenser, Keep It Simple...let the current owner provide you a tenant free property. 

So that means if you're living in it, you are not hacking for free, you're paying your fair share of the rent and some of your tenant's rent.   

Preferably one that’s free or not too expensive.Thanks,Robert

When you are ready to close on a property feel free to reach out, I am happy to guide you.

Feel free to reach out to me directly if you have questions or if you want an opinion on an area or property.  

Same thing with your HELOC, if it's a $0 payment, it's a $0 impact.Not discouraging the purchase by any means, but food for thought: "There's no free lunch" if you're getting a below market rate from the builder that's getting paid for in the purchase price.

If they report to Section 8, they are reporting on themselves as well.  

Hi, interesting comments investing in Ohio is definitely the best way to go if you need a Realtor in Ohio, please feel free to contact me. 

And then sell your current primary - take that money tax free to pay for college.
