My current real estate goals include connecting with local investors, providing value to others in any way I can, while continuing to learn my local market and more about real estate investing in general.If I’m not currently out physically looking at real estate Monday – Wednesday in or around Columbus; then I’m searching for it online, or reading about it.

I don't think the cashflow per door really matters. 

Common options are cash, personal check, money order, online payment, etc.

Which is why wholesaling is much more attractive because it requires no start up money. you cannot successfully wholesale as its taught by on line courses or gurus if you have no money.. the successful wholesalers be them licensed or not spend THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS a month on lead generation.you could bird dog.. maybe with limited captial just gas and a phone and hope that you get paid. 

I would say, no matter where you are that buying a Duplex for house hacking is a bad idea because any vacancy could be a nightmare.  

Also like the above comments stated it's a rental business and its tax deductable no matter LLC or not.

@Sam Jiang, The 1031 part of this doesn't really matter at all. 

If the zoning code is online I can do a quick review to see what you can build.

I believe this will drive down their prices as additional A-Class units come online and vacancies creep up.

It is pretty amazing stuff. 80+% of our leads/rentals come from online lead generation so it is very efficient and we text message the vast majority of leads which saves tons of time.
