@Aubrey Adams-Thanks for the post / question -I would recommend developing a hypothetical plan  ( purchase price / loan amt needed ) and get pre approved ..this process is free and it will help get you organized and also to educate you  in many ways ..if you never end up buying - no worries and no costs have been wasted 

And then it comes down to building skillset with education so you don’t end up buying a meth house with million dollar fines on them.

I’ve educated myself with books like Rich Dad Poor Dad and real estate podcasts, and I know I’ll succeed.I’d love advice from others who’ve been in my shoes: Is it okay to start investing in a different area if one strategy isn’t working?

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

I am afraid that it will be a long journey for you unless you get educated very quickly.

The Federal Trade Consumer’s Bureau of Consumer Protection stops unfair, deceptive and fraudulent business practices by collecting reports from consumers and conducting investigations, suing companies and people that break the law, developing rules to maintain a fair marketplace, and educating consumers and businesses about their rights and responsibilities.In all other industries consumers are able to rate the performance of service providers and potential investors have a right to have these insights.

I recommend you do a google search for "real estate seller financing" and educate yourself through some blogs, then have a conversation to see if the two of you can agree on terms that work for everyone.Be sure to use an attorney to draft the documents, not the same one the seller uses.

Their familiarity with the local market and diverse financial products could be beneficial.Huntington Bank: With a significant presence in Ohio, Huntington Bank provides various commercial banking solutions and has a history of working with business clients, including those with complex ownership structures.PNC Bank: As a major regional bank, PNC offers comprehensive commercial banking services and has experience dealing with corporate clients, which may align with your fund's requirements.It's advisable to contact these banks directly to discuss your specific needs and assess their ability to accommodate your investment structure without personal guarantees.

They will just send you what's on the market to your email and you can do that yourself with Zillow etc.You'll just need to keep educating yourself then plan to travel in 6 months.

I thought reinvesting in the business was partially investing in education.
