House hacking your primary home and repeating the process every year or two is the easiest and safest way to build long term wealth through time. 

Than this thing about the exclusive buyer agreement to me is great, and I don’t just say that from an agents prospective, people should be able to see in plain terms what services that can expect for what price and decide if that service is worth that to them, just like every other business, problem before is because seller was paying for buyers services it was opaque, now it will be written out in plain terms for everyone to see, the main result of this lawsuit was to put agents more in line with every other service business in America and increase the number of options for consumers, some agents might be paid more some will definitely get less, I think overall average commission’s come down, but again that’s how every other business operates people compete on price compete on service compete on relationships (I can get a better price with some subs because I’m a repeat customer who pays on time and is easy to deal with for instance) and than consumers can decide who that want to go with and once they decide to have that person working for them of course that person deserves to get paid for the time they put in.

Our priorities in terms of market is there needs to be- anticipated economic growth (lots of tech companies are moving into Columbus),- prices need to allow us to buy in all cash (400k or less, ideally up to 300k),- we want the area to be safe (when looking into places like Dayton, OH or Memphis, TN for instance it looks like all our boxes are checked on paper, numbers wise but we realized quickly there are a lot of unsafe areas and we could have the potential for problem tenants)- yearly expenses to be relatively low (i.e. we are avoiding NYC and the tri state area, California, etc. for having extremely high taxes).Is our initial analysis on the right track for Columbus?

Seek competitive rates and terms: Compare interest rates, loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, and loan terms among different lenders.

Also leases from tenants for the property, hell, just showing them the loan for the previous property where it was financed as an income property should also do the trick perhaps!

Hey Everyone!  I am going to manage some properties in Kauai next month and need to setup Trust Accounting at a local bank in Hawaii.  Does anyone have recommendations on banks or have a contact I can reach out to set...

Your income from the long-term properties is considered as your personal income so it shouldn't be so impactful.
