Get past the voices, investing in my first duplex my sophmore year at OSU in Columbus-Parents "That seems very reisky" -Realtor "its not a homerun but its a start"-Friends "I invest in the stock market and it doesnt require that much work"3 years later my duplex appraised for $300k more then what I bought it for and cash flows $1,800/month!

My parents live out there, I’m looking to buy there too, my parents realtor/agent is great if you need the recommendation 

Unfortunately in most cases the loan is sold and there is no way to control it.

That price is way too high which is why I like to keep things controlled and in house.
