For example - anyone can find a deal and start talking with the seller and negotiate a deal.

In the land business out west especially low value desert land pretty much all of those deals are traded with QC ( Quit Claim) Deeds prepped by the seller and mailed in to record.

I'm getting ready to start doing my research and figured I'd ask!

Once you start changing the rules because you get good or bad vibes from a potential tenant, you can get yourself in serious hot water and end up in court for a fair housing violation. 

It is a great way to build your real estate portfolio…or at least start.

If you have 4 offers sitting there, I would really start looking at them and weigh that with your motivation for selling. 

It kind of depends on what your goals are, but you may be able to start consolidating your properties a little more with like-kind exchanges and/or purchasing larger properties where you could do cost-segregations on.

My goals are to just get started with at least positive cash flow.

Congrats on beginning your journey, OH is a great place to start.

I'm looking to build a team to possibly start investing there.
