But that's not you, your entering with actual investable capital, so follow sound investing practices and tenants, go where the performance is, and it's NOT the bi-coastal areas, it's the midwest handsdown.

As it turns out, the city "Accidentally added" an extra "0" in their system when entering the property value...

Hi All,I had recently had a negative experience with a lender , and wanted to provide to share a tip with everyone that may help them avoid the mistake that I made.The mistake I made is that I did not check the reviews of the lender on Facebook and Google before entering into a transaction with them.My tip/lesson learned for anyone who is going to use a lender, is to check the reviews of their company on Facebook page or Google FIRST. 

Ultimately, I am seeking advice on how to enter this investment with another party.     

Using a turn-key company would allow me to enter the market at a lower cost, less expensive location, and have them manage the property, at a decent rate, while still learning about property owning/loans/tenants/etc. and dip my feet into the rental property investing realm.Our goal is to buy local properties in the next couple years, but this is an option to enter the market sooner.

(Tenant has to enter into living room of unit 1 to get to unit 2).

What are some markets that would be safer for a new investor like me to enter during this time period?

Hello Everyonei am entering the market in the Ohio and my first property will be in Dayton.

Use the search function and read opinions until you enter fugue state.

Ideally I would like something where you can list out the expected monthly or quarterly distribution and then every time an ETF comes through, I go enter the cell next to month/quarter and then it'll automatically add up everything to show how I'm performing on an annual basis.
