I hit a home run with the duplex I'm living in now as far as location and neighborhood, so the wife and kids don't want to go anywhere.My duplex is one block from the Columbia River with some great walking/biking trails that run the length of the river through most of Richland and the kids' school is one block in the other direction.

I know there is not a magic number for everyone but I am trying to learn as much as I can from successful investors.Thanks,Jordan

Other than that, I'd list out all the friend networks you have (i.e. high school, college, different clubs, orgs, family) and focus on getting 1 partner from each network.

Communities in Dayton can vary greatly and the school system in the city is not very good. you can PM me and I will be happy to discuss Options.

Hey guys, what is the name of the online real estate school you go to?

Depending on the level of acquisition you're intent on securing, the major indicator for me is really any immediate proximity to public transit or schools.

I was born and raised in India and moved here after high school.

It's in a high demand rental area within a fantastic school district.

Now comes the hard knocks...I agree with @Aaron Mazzrillo , and unfortunately I came from the school of hard knocks.

I'm still in learning mode, but I obviously want to make good deals and make money while attending the school of hard knocks.
