From Dubai to Duplexes

Clemens Wagner
Posted

Hi everyone!

I'm Clemens, originally from Austria but currently living in Dubai, working as performance analyst in tennis. I’ve spent the last 7 years living in the US, split between Ohio and California. I'm just getting started with real estate investing and looking to build monthly cash flow through remote strategies like turnkey rentals, Section 8, and short-term rentals. I’m here to learn from those ahead of me, ask thoughtful questions, and eventually give back to this incredible community as I grow.

Looking forward to connecting with you all!

 If cash flow is the goal, Ohio is your place to go. You should know that there is a huge difference between numbers on paper and in practice, so be aware of that. You could estimate a 5% vacancy and it be 10% in practice. Or you bought in an area because the cash flow looks great, but you get 2 evictions in your first year. There is a definitely delicate balance between the 2
