Hello Bigger Pockets Columbus! This is my first time posting on the forum. 

I am a Columbus native and have been wanting to flip houses in the area. I started flipping in Dayton in 2019 because there seems to be less investor pressure there.  I have completed 2 flips, finished remodel and now in contract with buyer for flip 3, finishing the remodel on flip 4 and hoping to start the remodel on flip 5 by end of June. I am now hoping to build a second stream of flips and eventually BRRRRs in Columbus as it is my hometown and I have a special heart for the city.  I am looking for my core 4 to partner with in the area.  I purchase all my properties with cash from myself or my private investors.  

I am especially looking for a contractor which it seems is the hardest part of the Core 4 to find in Columbus.  Please message me if you have any referrals!  I read a previous post where the recommendation was to post on indeed and interview at a public location.  This is a great idea and I plan to do that as well.

I am also looking for an investor-focused realtor.  I expect to pay full commission for a top performer.  My Dayton realtor has added HUGE value add and I would not be as successful as I have been without his guidance.  Please message me any referrals in the realtor category!

As for finding deals, I am a data scientist and I have created an algorithm for analizing properties on MLS, auction.com, sheriff sales, etc. This has helped me to find some gem deals. Having said that, I am open to beginning to work with wholesalers to hear about properties that never hit the "official" markets. If you are a wholesaler in Columbus, please let me know.

Looking forward to meeting the Columbus Bigger Pockets rockstars as soon as we can meet in person again!
