New cash investor looking in a few markets and want to start putting together some local teams.  I'm in FL so will need some guidance, etc. with local laws, guidelines, and general knowledge.  Have a real estate attorney I use down here in FL but need boots on the ground in other areas.  Would love to network with some folks.

I have a great real estate lawyer licensed in FL and Ohio, I can recommend 

Invest in the wonderful town of Columbus, OH. Home to The Ohio State University with nearly 60,000 students, 5 Fortune 500 companies, over +25% population change since 2000, 2016 smart city challenge award winner gaining 50 million dollars in funding from the government (https://www.columbus.gov/smartcity/), Intel is spending 20 Billion dollars to build two semiconductor plants, and many more great things presently and coming in the future. Needless to say, Columbus will remain a strong real estate market for the foreseeable future.

Hi all!

I'm a newbie investor, young 20s, saving up for my first house hack and hoping to purchase in a year. I'm based out of CO currently, but my family lives back in IA. While I am planning on buying in CO at least for now, I'm not sure if CO is where I want to be long term and wonder if I need to consider being closer to family. I've considered Chicago and IL area, but have heard about the negative impacts the governance has on rei there. My W2 is flexible and I could work remotely if needed or find another job. What overall advice would you have for someone navigating where in the states to start investing? How did you experienced investors decide where and when to "settle" down? What feedback do you have on your location that you are investing in and how it has worked for you? Ultimately, how much does location matter and is it more of a personal decision than a business decision?

An ethnically diverse, urban area with a decent population of young professionals and career opportunity is important to me, which is why I initially considered Chicago. It is also within driving distance to my family. Are there any areas within the midwest that you know of that has those qualities?

Quote from @Jimmy Lieu:

Hi Robert, I personally love Columbus Ohio and as someone who works with a lot of out of state investors - there's so many catalysts for why you should invest here. Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy). I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years. Plus, there's still so many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here in Columbus Ohio. Just this month, I’ve gotten under contract for my clients for multiple 20%+ cash on cash rental properties so there’s definitely tons of opportunity here. As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!


 I think he's talking about Columbus, GA lol

Quote from @Harris Constantatos:

Hi Looking to start investing in Ohio, what are your thoughts about these 2 cities. What is a better ROI?

Thanks for the intro @JD Martin

I agree with James and here is a quick comparison done by benzinga.com

Columbus is the capital of Ohio and one of the fastest-growing cities in the Midwest. It has a strong job market, with a mix of Fortune 500 companies and startups, as well as a growing tech industry. Columbus also has a thriving arts and cultural scene, with numerous museums, galleries and theaters.

Pros:

  • Strong job market and growing population
  • Low cost of living compared to other major cities
  • Affordable housing prices and strong rental yields

Cons:

  • Limited inventory and competition for desirable properties
  • High property taxes
  • Traffic congestion during rush hour

Cleveland is on the shores of Lake Erie and the second-largest city in Ohio. It has a diverse economy, with a mix of manufacturing, healthcare and technology industries. Cleveland is also home to a variety of cultural attractions, including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

Pros:

  • Affordable housing prices and strong rental yields
  • Low cost of living compared to other major cities
  • Growing job market and revitalization of the downtown area

Cons:

  • Some neighborhoods have higher crime rates and lower property values
  • Cold winters and lake-effect snow
  • Commute times can be long because of traffic congestion

Hello everyone, I am a practicing pharmacist/ pharmacy owner from San Jose, California. I recently stumbled upon BIggerPockets and am now obsessed about REI. I have zero experience in real estate investing, but I am interested in the Cincinnati and Columbus markets, as they seem to be more investor friendly than San Jose (where a beat-up house can still bid for 1MM+). I am interested in MTRs and fix n flip and would love to connect with local investors, realtors, contractors, or anyone simply interested in real estate investing. Cheers!
