I'm in NE Ohio and while I don't plan to completely "self-manage" (ie, do maintenance/cleaning/etc. myself) I do want these properties to be close enough that I can A) check them out personally when needed and potentially tinker/add improvements on occasion myself AND B) if they are vacant for a weekend, go and enjoy some R&R on short notice. 

Other than that I follow some youtube stuff on analyzing properties etc. 

I would like to revisit this same deal with some assistance to improve my analytical skills and areas of improvement.

There are plenty of threads in this forum and on YouTube to understand the solutions. 

.*** I have been browsing these forums and binge-watching YouTube and BP Podcasts for the last ~4-6 weeks and my wife and I are both on board to try our hand at real estate investing.I believe I have found a deal that works for us, but would love the opportunity to talk through it with someone who knows what they are talking about before pulling the trigger, because it seems like it is a bit outside nearly all of the examples I have seen other people describe as their first deals.The property has a house on two and a half acres that also comes with three rental cabins (they are currently being used as short term rental units).

I have been binge-watching YouTube videos and old BiggerPocket Podcasts for the last month or so and finally decided to pay for a pro account here.My wife and I both currently work in higher education, own our own home (in NJ) and are looking into getting involved with some real estate investing.

I've been watching hundreds of YouTube videos to try and teach myself but I feel likes there's none out there that gets into the deep deep details of buying them.

@Corbin Dallas Are there any changes/improvements you could make to the home to increase rents?

Still need reserves for roof, appliances, hot water heater, hvac, bath and kitchen remodel.etc.Unlikely insurance is $25 per month and taxes will go up as you improve the property.

If you are trying to reach financial freedom or improve your financial stature, then any approach other than eviction is not going to move you towards your goals.
