Wraps are something to think about once you’ve got some experience under your belt.

Plus, if you decide to do one of the other strategies in the future (such as BRRR'ing or out-of-state investing), you'll be much more prepared to do it if you have a few HH's under your belt--a ton of the lessons you'll learn from a HH can be used to succeed in other areas of real estate ...in fact, I'd say that a HH should be a necessary prerequisite to the more advanced strategies (like flipping)!

If I didn't have an income, I think I would tighten the belt and stabilize your income first.

Columbus is the only city in the midwest and rust belt that is growing in population.
