Trying to build out a portfolio to serve as a second job post first retirement. 

From this job I have seen plenty of opportunity with tenants leaving and looking for industrial space.

I've heard of mentees that started out cleaning up construction areas on a flip at the end of each work day or picking up supplies at Home Depot and delivering them to the job site.

I know to expect an HOA and PMI with this new focus I have, but it seems to me this should be my focus with SFH being a 'nice-to-have' backup plan to this one now.

@Jordan Moorhead The DOD opened a pathway for service members do some job training before transitioning out of active service.

I second Well & Good, I use them at two of my rentals and they do a great job.

Will have to learn on the job, or partner up with an experience investor to learn from him.I also lack experience in estimating repairs since i have only done couple of flips, but:1.

Yes, HMLs are higher in interest rate on average but if it allows you to get the job done and stabilize properly I don’t see a difference between HML and a private lender.

While that is nice, it's somewhat hard for me to bet on someone else instead of myself.

Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs.https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2022/01/21/intel-ohio-building-computer-chip-factories-licking-county-jersey-township/9173472002/ Another example of economic growth is the upcoming Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital which is a 1.9million square foot hospital that will bring over 800 new beds and a thousand new jobs. https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/new-osu-hospital-expected-to-transform-health-careHere are a few more recent investments https://www.10tv.com/article/money/business/hydrogen-power-company-hyperion-bringing-700-jobs-to-columbus/530-25907aab-5517-4661-a9f3-d2ed2d5be6b0 https://news.wosu.org/news/2022-02-08/rumpke-to-build-50-million-recycling-facility-in-columbus Check out The Complete Guide to the Columbus, Ohio Real Estate Market which goes through the Columbus, Ohio market in depth and will give you a better scope of where the highest levels of growth are taking place and where to look to invest.
