LOL.There’s a WORSE WAY and a BEST WAY to try to obtain items 1-4 aboveBEST WAY: College or Professional Association courses in real estate (real estate license course as a base) and work experience for a REIT or other professional real estate organization and capital saved or equity raised from private parties with a MODERATE amount of debt leverage and or utilizing creative financing with low interest rate debt (may be highly leverage)WORSE WAY; Any guru courses or mentorship’s combine with high interest debt. 

Duplex is a great first step into the REI market if you can buy one that you can put in a little TLC/renovations, you can quickly refinance in as little as 6 months and buy another property keeping it as a rental.Duplex allows you to use the other "Unit" rents to qualify for the loan or higher loan amount.Rent is a waste of money when you look at an amortization schedule and payoff based on a 5 year model your rental has (ZERO) equity and a home has money you can pull out.

I'm a Newbie too Lisa, I'm searching for out-of-state properties that have a good cash-flow; (in the positive). 

The truth is, about 99.5% of lenders who offer conventional mortgages in the US won't lend to someone who isn't based in the US, even if that person is a US citizen living abroad or works for a US company.

I’m working on an Amazon-based side hustle at the moment, and have been trying to break into tech for the last year with 10 personal apps set to release on the App Store sometime this year.

I'm out searching for questions sellers have about "flat fee" or "discount real estate listings" and saw your questions.

Just not sure whether (and what if so) there are any impacts to the mortgage/insurance company I need to be aware of, etc....Allocation is generally done based on sf. 

I recommend looking into areas near economic bases - close to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ohio State Campus, New Albany, etc.
