What good is it if the method is free BUT DOESN'T WORK?!And

Memphis can be tricky for out of state investors because of street by street differences and difficulties finding good tenants, especially at lower price points.As far as socioeconomic factors, Memphis has a lot of transportation industry businesses which provide solid blue collar work, and much of this stayed open as essential even during the pandemic.

My goal is to meet more like minded people that I can use my background in HR and financial education to help, and ultimately be a part of a dream team of investors looking to make Columbus (and eventually Cleveland, Cincinnati) better places to live, work and play.When not learning about real estate, I teach yoga for athletes and run a cleaning company.

Tenant turn overs require work and have a cost.  

if you truly want passive cash flow you need to pay others to do all the work and it will take more investment $$ to get the same return....I would give myself 10 years.... 

It sounds easy to buy in another market and have your property management do the work and that works for a lot of people.

Over the years I have purchased several investment properties, some that needed substantial work and some that were raw land only.

I'm talking more specifically what you drive around tenants/prospects and especially want to hear from those that drive nice cars to "work".And I agree I should be able to roll up in a gold plated diamond encrusted Lamborghini and it have no effect on weather or not a tenant does or should pay the rent, but some people may not look at it that way.

They can be complicated and are rather pricey but if the numbers work and are structured correctly they are designed for exactly this type of situation.Basically a land ease of at least 30 years in duration if structured correctly can be viewed as being real estate itself.  

I currently work and go to school part time, but I do have plenty of time left over to devote to real estate.
