I have invested my life savings in real estate to earn a living, save for retirement and build wealth for my family. 

Purchase price: $535,000 This will be a slow live-in BRRRR.

I live downstairs and claim this as my homestead.

Better down payment options, you live in the property you rent which makes management 30X easier.

You likely have to live there longer and/or plan to use it as a rental property (assuming the revenue is high enough) because you're starting at zero equity.  

Benefit from group discussions with like-minded peers and live Q&As with your real estate instructors.

I considered Cincinnati but since I know Indy well (used to live there), I decided to focus just on one city in the MidwestI also looked at Bakersfield.

I just don't forecast renting it all. it's personal living space for family & friends.
