If it's only 2 properties and I manage them.

@Nathaniel LinnIn order to invest in real estate, start connecting with local agents, property managers and lenders in Ohio.

I am currently living in Colorado and have talked to some property managers down in San Antonio.

I’m working with my father on managing his RE. 

House hacking will also give you some personal "property management" experience.

There are many players in the market, one of my preference is Prypco Blocks, below are few reasons to trust:- It is founded by Amira Sajwani (Managing Director - Sales and Development, DAMAC Properties)- They're regulated by the DFSA, which adds a layer of legitimacy.- They offer a digital platform to track your investments easily.- They claim an 8-12% expected net annual ROI, which sounds promising.But it's always better to do your research and understand the risks and be sure before investing any money.

Vacancy, property management, repairs, maintenance, and capital expenditures are all MANDATORY expenses.

I don't like third party managers, as the best I have ever heard from someone is "they are fine" but most stories are much worse than that.  

I know the market very well as I already own a couple of cabins in Broken Bow, and I own a property management company here as well managing 30+ cabins.

I work in property management, so please don't hesitate to ask any questions pertaining to that field.
