Hi, I'm someone who's been interested in REI for a year or two now and I'm just trying to take in as much information as I can. I only want to focus on buy and hold investing in long-term rentals, specifically SFH and MFH. I currently don't own any RE but plan to in the next couple years.

Hello All. Close to closing a deal in Columbus and am looking at a few PM companies. Anyone ever worked with Ohio Elite? All you Reafco guys are great but looking for people that dont have an association. Thanks in advance

Analyzing areas around Columbus OH for purchasing duplexes and SFH for appreciation / cash flow - would like to stay in $100-200k range - any insight on where to target and areas to avoid are appreciated.

Looking to connect with Property Managers for larger apartment buildings in the Columbus OH area.  

Hi all, I am not new to investing but I am new to RE investing. The majority of my money is in Stocks and I'm looking to move some of my funds over to RE. I'm not looking to get rich or replace a W2, but I am looking to build a portfolio of properties that will eventually add to my income streams in retirement. The challenge for me is that I live in San Diego CA and the market is expensive and I compete with owner-occupiers who will pay top dollar. Buying a run-down property and fixing it is difficult because building costs here have become ridiculous. I am slowly coming to the realization that maybe Cali isn’t the best place to invest ( I love the joint). I have seen places like Cleveland and Columbus get mentioned on the forums as a good place to invest but I’m open to other ideas. I want to start slow and build from there. Any help would be much appreciated.

I was looking into SFH or small Multifamily and have been looking into Philadelphia and it seems not so Landlord friendly per the (landlord tenant laws and asking around) Many areas are over priced (i.e. Center City) and other areas are war zones. There isn't much cash flow in Bucks County PA from what I see and some of the fringe areas have a flat population with little growth. NJ comes with its own issues. I have seen many mention OHIO specifically Columbus. Looks like at least 24 major corporate headquarters there and lots of different industries (universities, government, Hospitals etc) I want to do a deep dive into Columbus but want to see what you all think about other Cities in Ohio like Cincinnati. I understand that location is super nuanced, but before delving in on a micro scale I wanted to know what the big overall picture is in your Opinion! Thank you so much!

Hi everyone,

My husband and I have been exploring the idea of expanding our real estate portfolio, which has primarily been in Southern California. We are interested in investing out of state, with the goal of generating consistent cash flow. While appreciation is always a nice bonus, our primary objective is to build a portfolio that also yields reliable income over the long term. With that in mind, we are particularly interested in exploring opportunities in Columbus, Ohio, and would love to connect with those who have firsthand experience investing there. If you're someone who has ventured into the Columbus market, I would love to chat and hear your thoughts on what your experience has been like. Looking forward to connecting with you.

Hi everyone! I'm Andy, I'm orignally from California but moved out to Texas. I've been watching a bunch of BP episodes and doing a bunch of research. I'm a newbie but I'm a fast learner and I believe I'm a pretty competent person in general. I see on podcasts other people doing it as a newbie and have made it to the big league. I want to the out of state investing as it seems like a better place to get started. I realize that it is harder to start out of state but from what I've read/known the process is very similar to doing it in-state. Ideally I'd like to BRRRR. I want to buy a property for around $50-100k, rehab it for maybe another maybe 30-50k and rent it out. The cash flow looks great for that amount of money. Excited to get out of analysis paralysis and start taking action. Hopefully I can be like some of you one day. If there are any local investors out there I'd love to connect!

Bests, Andy

Hi all! I'm planning on going under contract for 2 properties this week (a duplex that could be converted into a triplex and a triplex). I'm an out-of-state investor and looking for a property manager for these 2 properties and future properties in the area. If you are a property manager or have worked with one in the area (good or bad experiences), I'd love to hear from you!
