I WANT to do this, but have little idea about how to structure it as well as being unsure about which attorney to connect with. 

The second roommate would pay each month in crypto to the other for their portion.Interesting situation but worked well for both of them. 

I've also noticed West Ashley / Johns Island struggles to reach the 1% rule.Are others seeing this as well or should I find an agent who is in the loop w/ off-market opportunities?

Well from my experience the strategies that grow net worth the fastest require the most time.

Crypto is always very volatile and as for stocks, well we're real close to a record for the Buffett indicator (stock market value / GDP) which along with some other indicators, makes me think it's likely overvalued. 

The real answer is It depends, without more info.It is well worth getting things set up on the front end.

Looking to connect with a friendly agent that knows the Ohio market well.

I’m having a hard time deciding as well.

But, I found a bit here:  https://www.awc.org/pdf/education/mat/AWC-MAT230-Glulam-2hr-150530.pdfThe aluminum I-beam properties are well documented here:https://www.aluminum.org/sites/default/files/ADM2010Errata2.pdfIn short, one can't make a definitive conclusion. 

This will bring you to the spreadsheet as well as the video on how to use it.
