It’s sooo much easier with today’s technology.

I don't know if you own a home or not, but I would say putting the money down and paying off debt on your personal home could be a smart choice. 

PASSIVE real estate investing and once you make that choice, then decide which of the multiple paths down those tracks to take. 

I know that once my first one is done it gets a little easier in terms of credibility. 

Money believe it or not is a lot easier to find than a good deal.

Dayton is also a lot smaller, so it's easier to keep a handle on what's happening where.

If you can get a hold of them before it closes, it will make your life so much easier!

House-hacking is a great choice, but usually with a higher buy-in in areas you'd want to live (Midtown and Medical District have a lot of these types of units). 

It would be easier if I was just a passive investor who wanted a return.

90% occupancy, that’ll definitely cover the note and expenses (assuming you bought right).Nice might be right for you’re choice of living conditions, but not always the right choice for your investments.
