I would love to know this too as I am looking for a mastermind group to join and help with knowledge sharing, learning, skill development, conacts/networking, accountability and of course fun...which is highly underrated. 

I wasn’t prepared to invest this amount of money in the first few years, so I'm unsure how to proceed.Due to the high interest rates at the moment, mine being at 7%, and with two tenants paying below-market rents, I currently have no cash flow.

Does it also mean as long as any school (such as high school) is better?

Columbus will likely see the fastest appreciation just based on the rate the city is growing, but in Cleveland you will see high cash-flow and Cincinnati is a great mix of both. 

If you are local to the SLC or Utah county area, I highly recommend attending local SLREIA or UTREIA groups.

I would highly advise to use your savings to execute.

I have already secured renters and am very excited to get started.Regarding the Chicago market, I have come to understand that there is an abundance of multi-family properties, but it is important to note the property taxes outside the city limits can be very high.

And later on, take advantage of the 1.1 acres and put up Yurt/ Dome / Tiny house etc as a glamping setup.Pictures:The 3d model Front view ( The barn with loft)Right view (Barn, Kitchen and .. the back part I lovingly call, the pizza) == also, what i plan to do with it.back view ...Current view and the Planned renovation viewThe left side view Location:115 miles from NYC ( 140 minutes)12 miles from Woodstock and Hunter ski mountain.

Listed rentals often have high competition and multiple applications. 

To help you in your search: be sure to find an accountant who is willing to grow with you, and is not too high priced fee-wise.
