I work with investors in Columbus! send me a message I'd love to chat 

 Hey there, Remington Lyman i'm happy I came across your post, first and for-most I hope everything turns around for you! Having boots on the ground is very important when investing out-of-state especially important to trust those people. My best advice for you from my experience is to network and become apart of facebook groups and other groups on the internet for small businesses and or investor pages. Adding to that though, reaching out! Closed mouths don't get fed you're not going to gain that team you're looking for without reaching out and getting to know them. Call them, meet with them, walk some houses etc. 

I am a disposition agent in Columbus and I provide a marketplace for investors to find properties in the area. With the appreciation in Columbus, it is a great spot to invest in and there are areas where it is cheaper, like the Dayton area or London. What is making London a great investment spot is that they have put 25 million into the market for development purposes and the prices are cheap. 

 Yes feel free to direct message me, we can hope on a call and talk some more !

@maggie ferreira Great question! Studies recently found have shown that homes in the Columbus/central Ohio area are on a rise and are only going to keep rising if home construction doesn't increase in the near future. Not only that but, jobs are coming into the area especially with the new Intel building in Licking county being built people are going to need a place to live which makes Columbus a great area to invest right now. Based on a Columbus Dispatch's recent article, they mentioned that Columbus is averaging roughly 8,000 new homes a year over the past decade, and with the projected population growth that number needs to double. With home prices increasing increasing in the area and not as quickly as salaries, we can assume rentals are going to be more desirable in the next coming years by the average consumer. With that being said, I understand your concern with the 1% rule, but we shouldn't be focusing on the now. We should be focusing on what is to be expected in the next coming years. Though you may not find 1% rentals at this time, though they are out there in Columbus, we can assume rental rates are going to increase over time. Thus, buying and holding properties now will yield to 1% returns in the future, if not more. Cash flow is only going to increase with the appreciation the city has to offer!
