HI Damian,

I saw your post thought I would introduce myself, I am a realtor and investor here in the Columbus market. We work mainly with OOS investors and manage and handle finding them buy and hold as well as Flip houses! The Columbus market has been nothing but great for us! We stay busy and always have deals coming to my desk, always looking for more funding! We are competitive with our return for our private investors/lenders. I personally own 8 rental properties and this number continues to grow! How about you? How do you invest from OOS?

Thanks
