@Race Jones get in touch with a realtor, preferably one that's knowledgeable about the investing side of real estate.

The entry point is much lower, and I'll take the returns here all day long and not have to get into the Columbus arms race.

Not sure how big it is but the downstairs tenant in one of my rentals agreed to mow the lawn if I left him access to a mower.

geographic areas that are picking up in Trenton NJ:Downtown: The city building area - not much properties for sale there.Hiltonia: Home owner area, is quiet and the prices are much higher than in the entire city, it looks more like Ewing then like Trenton, mostly home owners not much rentals there.Chambersburg: considered as A well growing area but prices are rising as the competition grows.West end: You can get a better deal not paying that much, Riverside Ave (next to the Delaware river) is picking up between home owners.North Trenton: such as Vine St, Race St (off MLK), or Poplar St Oak St (off N Clinton) are picking up as well.

My ticket out of the rat race is passive income from real estate - once my passive income can cover my expenses, work is optional.

It's like saying I've never owned or driven a car, but I'm going to go build a lambo and become a race car driver because I sell cars at a dealership.
