If they're looking for cheaper properties and want to scale faster, especially with multifamily, I think choosing a smaller market like Toledo or Dayton makes more sense than someone who already has more wealth and looking for more appreciation in markets like Columbus and Cincinnati. 

How do I scale and grow my portfolio from this first home into another and so on, in this market.

Hi all,Is standard real estate commission at a full-scale brokerage still 6% to the seller? 

I recently changed focus to networking and increasing the number of leads in the top of the funnel so I can spend my time evaluating and scale in a way I hope to.Absolutely nothing wrong with becoming a RE agent. 

You don’t have to worry about rent controls on commercial.Multi tenant turns are usually fairly inexpensive but can be harder to evict in the event of default and more and more state are passing rent control and tenant friendly laws that are making things more difficult on landlords.Best bet is to focus on what’s working best for you and scale that.

I know I’m missing a lot but I want to get this out there and scale my options.
