Hey Ryan, when I lived in the area (2017-2022) I tried out a handful of meetups.

Sure, most people want to leverage deducting passive losses... but one day you might have net profit that could be whacked with a 3.8% NIIT.

Yes, I've done my fair amount of research and reading whatever I could get my hands on and I think House-hacking is definitely the most realistic goal to set for me early on.

People from all over the world contact me about investing in Ohio. 

and how do I go about dealing with this.Unfortunately this is business, some people suck.

On the other hand I have a HELOC on my primary that is interest only for a few more years that I could use as a baseline then mortgage the rest of it.

We have quite a few properties where we allow people to STR them. 

The zoning record says it is in an unincorporated tax district. 2) A home in Kennesaw that is also zoned for single family.I see online that there is conflicting info, where in DeKalb county, 3 unrelated people can live together, but Decatur shows 2 unrelated people.

Celebrate holidays, bdays, and milestones together.To encourage collaboration, support, etc, start every team call/meeting with having each team member mention a 'win' that they had recently as well as a challenge they're facing... with the right mix of people, you should see your agents jumping at the chance to share advice/info and cheer one another on.

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated these trends, as remote work allowed more people to move to areas offering better lifestyles.
