Hi Carisa,Ohio is a great starter market for multifamily and I could not stress enough that it makes more sense to go with multifamily, if you are able to, because income and expenses scale better when you buy right. 

So the funder pushes the 'fund' button at basically the exact same time for both, with two instances of the mortgage origination software open, just like there is presumably one person at one location that pushes the buttons for ALL the rockets to ignite (you wouldn't have rocket 1 be a lady in Florida, and rocket 2 be a guy in Texas...).

I thought my wife may die from the stress of it all though!

Hope we can button up before snowfall!!!!

Not sure what it looks like on the phone, but you should have an 'Image' link down below, just to the left of the 'Post Reply' button.

My logic is that if either of us HAVE to work, I'd much be rather it be me working real estate where I have much control vs her working the business where we're dependant on contractors, clients and the market which are all notoriously unreliable, very stressful and very time consuming. 

My main focus is to HELP people move on with their lives and relieve the stress of having financial issues resulting from a property that they can't afford or can't get rid of.

I'll add 2 symptoms of financial stress in a seller.  

You haven't felt a real "stress test" of your assumptions.

AKA, if I am meeting with an older gentleman, its cowboy boots (I live in the boondocks), jeans, and button up short sleeve shirt.
