I believe a real estate license is beneficial if it is put to use.

For appreciation, the Columbus market is a strong choice.

I work full time at my current job and need somewhere I can hang my license that might also be beneficial but not require the world of me. 

The median price is the difference between B and C.Here is what that looks like for my Market Milwaukee County (which includes the city of MKE)Median Home price August 2024: $267,422this gives you roughly the following:class A: 500 and upclass B: 267 to 500class C: 134 to 267class D: under 134Investing around the median price (either C+ or B-) is always a solid choice.

Hey Jason, Given your situation, it would likely be more beneficial to put the real estate investment in your wife's name since the rental income would then be reported on her tax return.

I will defiantly be looking into the audible, it will be very beneficial during my down time.

if they Ghost you  U have no choice but to follow the foreclosure rules in the state the property is in.. and dont hesitate never gets better.

If OOS then you do not have a choice, turnkey UNLESS you have trusted crews and YOU know pricing ,  If you are new then turnkey, for both.

Also from the choices you provided, I believe you are looking at somewhat passive options.  

I am not financially capable of continuing to throw money into this home and I don't know how I can somehow make this property beneficial.
