In person would be preferred but a remote skillbridge is also an option.

Personally I love that area and would love to have a place there.

I think personal capital is great.

I personally have had great experiences in Cleveland and Columbus. 

Physical products are difficult to make efficient!

For example, I've seen where a hobbyist investor/developer works on project, they hire an engineer and/or architect, but they ended up missing something vital, i.e. drainage issues, environmental, fire dept review, planning the wrong type of product for that market (buyer & renter demographic), etc.

Also, @Connor Gillen is a great person to chat with as well. 

The property I would buy is in her LLC but she would like the dream home she’s building to be in their personal names, can she use a 1031 exchange at the end of the 3 year balloon when I pay her off and use those proceeds towards a new construction build?

Are you personal finances under control? 

If you are unsure of the quality of the product you are selling than you will not sell the product.
