Hey Joe,

Welcome to BP! 

What markets are you looking into? I invest in Columbus, OH.

I would first find a market that is suitable for you and showing signs of potential market growth. 

I think Columbus is a great option to consider. Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing substantial amounts of money into our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon. Which in turn will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the market. I am looking at the Cincinnati area as well.

The core 4 is essential to long-distance investing. It consists of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and a lender. Once you have this team in place, you should have the foundation to invest in any market confidently while not being there physically.

Why do you want to go with a company if you are learning the game?

Cincinnati is a good option to look into. The city has an annual output of $132 billion and a heavy concentration of Fortune 500 companies, making it a top economic metro. Homes are still meeting 1% rule there as well.

Hey Isaiah, I think Columbus is a great option to consider. Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing substantial amounts of money into our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon. Which in turn will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the market. A market with high appreciation will give yo the highest ROI.

My team finds plenty of deals both on and off-market and we can provide you with the resources you need to make the purchase without walking the properties physically.

Hey Hunter,

I think Columbus is a great option to consider when getting into rentals. Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing substantial amounts of money into our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon. Which in turn will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the market.

Hey Alex, after picking a market you like, I would suggest taking some time to fly out and get a personal feel of the area. Picking a market is a big decision and should be taken seriously.

Hey Franklin, I am based out of Columbus, but I am expanding to Cleveland. I would be happy to connect and see where our goals could align.
