(1) you should find an agent in any market you're investing in before you write an offer; (2) My OOS Investors usually interview/find property managers while in contract on a property; (3) An agent should certainly help you find good deals (that's their job). I'd suggest investing in a market with strong job growth and expanding economic base, like Columbus, Ohio.

You'll want to get a local agent who can source off-market deals for you.

There are a ton of great deals on, and off the market here in Columbus, OH. Typically, I try to bring my out of state investors deals that meet or beat the 1% rule in rapidly gentrifying areas. Please let me know if you would like to learn more.

Hello looking to break into the US market in 2024. I have 1 unit in Toronto Canada and want to look for opportunities across the border. If any one has experience with this it would help (Mainly the lending process) Toronto is a vibrant city with lots of renters but it’s also expensive and renters have more rights than landlords.

I'd be glad to help you out with this!

I live here, invest here, and love it (during spring, summer, and fall). Columbus is an economically diverse market here in Ohio with a great mix of cashflow and appreciation. It's landlord friendly and still relatively affordable compared to other hot markets around the country. If you're looking more specifically for cash flow, tertiary markets that I also like are Newark, Dayton, Marysville, and Lancaster.

Feel free to reach out you're ready

Watch yourself. This guy only sells the best deals.

Townhomes typically have an HOA, which can be pricey and eat cash flow. For future investments, I'd suggest a small multi-family that cash flows. A good rule of thumb for cash flow is the 1% rule. In case you're not familiar, that means each month's rent should equal 1% of the purchase price. For instance, a property you purchase for 200k should produce 2k a month in revenue. There are plenty of deals like this available in the Columbus, Ohio market.

Single family home is what I have in mind for the next purchase. I'd prefer something local just because it is easier to manage if it's closer.

Do you manage them yourself?

I have a property manager but plan do it it myself soon.

Great way to save cash flow.

This sounds like a great idea. I have a client that is an old GC. He's now selling everything off. He is making 3-4x his money on each property.
