I really want to combine both professions.

I’ve been burned on several rental move outs by the massive pile of personal crap in the street “for trash pickup”.  

Larger goal is to build a small portfolio combining STR and MTR allowing for substantial personal use, offsetting payments with rental income, and seeking long term appreciation.

We’re combining financial analysis with hands-on experience to build a long-term rental portfolio.We are currently underwriting multi-unit rentals and select flip opportunities.

Often times in these double block homes some utilities are combined.

Not picturing all the crap they need to cleanup. 

Take the tax-free dollars and combine them with the money you save in payments (or rent if you don't own now).

And when they do try to make stuff up to try to come across as right, what they don't account for is  I don't stand for that weakminded crap and I show more data and proof  that they are in fact wrong.To insecure people, this is "chest pumping".

Buying the property in Ohio and leveraging the crap out of it with no occupany disturbs me. 

Long term holds plus a few STRs is a solid combination for diversification.
