Warning long post but i'm so dang excited and I just wanted to share my plan so far:  First,  if you had asked me a year or so ago what I wanted to be when I grow up, ( im 39 by the way) I would have told you........

If I remember correctly he only had to put 5 % down

I’ve never worked in sales but I think that’s what I need to experience in order to grow my income (my current job is completely unrelated to anything here).

The area in general is growing slowly then other areas.When I ran the calculator the cap rate was 12%.Any help would be appreciated.

Point being, we are all here to learn from each other, and meet like-minded people that we can grow our wealth with.

Columbus is also the 14th largest city in the country, and the only large northern city to grow by more than 10% from 2010 to 2017. 

Remember, leasing agents have to be licensed in almost every state.

You took the first leap, not continue the progress and grow your portfolio.

I am aware I can pay myself whatever I choose but...I am refining my 'systems' and would like to acknowledge my hardwork etc in order to keep growing and stay motivated. 

Yet SOH is here to stay and should be factored into the decision to buy a home that you can claim as your homestead vs continuing to rent one where ultimately you the tenant pay the landlord's larger and faster-growing property tax bill.Today my home would conservatively rent for $1,700 as a 3/2, and perhaps $2,100 total if split into a 2/1 and 1/1.
