Can't speak for Zanesville exactly, but I invest in Circleville & Chillicothe, and Chillicothe is *about* the same distance from downtown Columbus.Personally, I wouldn't trade investing in this kind of area for anything.

Long-story short, I set a six-year goal to earn both degrees, start my real estate career with an active firm for about three years, and then to go out on my own.

A plan will follow shortly!

For private lending, especially short term, you may find that you'll be better off with the "checkbook control".

I think it’s a good way to get started.I wouldn’t recommend long distance rehabs to start.

There are a few within driving distance.

Can you guys tell me in a short story what is the process to get a loan?

But I wouldn't recommend you go this route.Besides all that mess and possible liability, it's only a few months, so now you'd have to find a short-term renter.None of this sounds like a good idea.

More problematic is your loan, if you’re getting a loan for a second home and it in fact is going be a short term/long term rental.

Ok, long story short (and I can fill you in on story details if you would like), but here are the facts.
