Quote from @Terrance Hill: Great topic, Sabrina.

Lately I’ve been thinking about how real estate can do more than build wealth — it can sustain missions and protect legacies.Here’s an example that inspired me: there’s a ranch in Tunnel Hill, Georgia that’s been serving children, veterans with PTSD, and families through equine therapy since 2010.

That said, if you’re still considering Columbus, don’t forget it’s near Hocking Hills, which Forbes named one of the top travel destinations in the world for 2023.

Depending on how central you want to be to downtown or in the suburbs, I'd recommend places like:Near downtown - South Park, Oregon, Oakwood Belmont and parts of Walnut Hills. 

If there’s a more reliable local rent comp tool you’d recommend, I’m all ears.My $9,300 monthly total is the actual all-in payment, but I round to $10K for analysis to account for property tax increases, landscaping, and now the new trash fee.The property is in Grant Hill — not the easiest neighborhood, but it’s still pulling STR/MTR demand (budget-conscious visitors to SD, mostly).I was also banking on more favorable interest rate cuts along with continued appreciation — both of which didn’t play out as quickly as I expected, throwing off my original projections.Regarding your question on my underwriting prior to purchase — can you clarify what you mean specifically?

Nothing an investor wants to read but I've always felt that being optimistically realistic is better than being silent. 

Currently sourcing off-market single-family and multi-family properties in Brooklyn (Cypress Hills, East New York, Brownsville) for cash buyers, fix-and-flip investors, and landlords.

It caught my eye because it sat up on a hill, had a nice front porch, and although it was clearly vacant, the yard was meticulously maintained.

They dont bring deals, they don't provide input, they are a silent equity partner.
