BP is a great place to start however I feel in person gets you further.

My employees wash their vehicles and muddy equipment every day and they put a massive amount of rocks, nuts and bolts, wood and all sorts of debris into the pump and it never failed one time.Since my pump handles both rain water and the water my employees use to wash their equipment every day I installed a specially made system with electronic valves that makes the water they wash their equipment go into a sediment and filter box and then into the city sewer system and when it rains the electronic valves have a sensor that detects water coming from the roof drain downspouts and valves switch to make the water from the parking lot go into the street.

We have a person on board with a degree in design, so we usually tweak the floor plans for sight lines and function.

Personally, I have a boutique investment company.

House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

I'm further assuming that both your personal home, and the property, are both in Lancaster County. 

Hey Anthony, I am a Real Estate Agent and investor based in Columbus and personally grew up in Cleveland .

I have not done too many deals in your market, and I anticipate things are nuanced depending on the property type and condition and based on the personality of the owner....BUT it is common and customary in my world, which is usually retail/med office, for tenants to have at least some time of free rent during the buildout.We usually structure things as follows, and you can change the number of days around but this is traditionally what we at least shoot for when we have a tenant we are repping.- Lease commencement date is to be the 6/1/24 or when the landlord's work is complete. and we traditionally have penalties in place if the LL's work takes too long and pushes us past our initial timeline.- then we typically have "rent commencement" or when you start paying rent, to be the earlier of either 180 days following lease commencement or when you are open for business.  

It's hard for anyone to give advice on such a personal decision, but I'm almost always in the position of never selling.

As I said, I think it can make sense to buy and hold real estate personally AND inside retirement accounts.
