Growth there seems relatively flat even considering the addition of the Google data center and being home to the country's largest rural industrial park, the Mid-America industrial park.There hasn't been any new residential development projects there in many years with the exception of a few outside of the city limits, consisting of larger homes on larger lots. 

When you do this set a Google reminder or put on your annual reoccurring calendar to change the battery out each year.

I'm 24 years old since I was 16 I've always wanted to become a real estate investor but I have not yet started due to I just don't know where and how to start not just that I feel like I lack some knowledge            My 'Why':After years of working in the restaurant industry I realized that I need a path where the room of growth is limitlessso I started googling & watching videos about investing   I got inspired and became obsessed with the idea of building massive growth through real estate investing                  But I have been feeling stuck due to I don't know how should I go by when it comes to take my first baby step  I strongly believe that I need guidance in this path   So looking for a mentor to guide me through this journey that I've always wanted to get into  I have not succeeded to find one or at least that's what I think    I'm open for constructive criticism.

Long term, if you’re interested in STRs or mid-term rentals out of state, I’d definitely keep Columbus, Ohio on your radar because the fundamentals are really strong with population growth, job growth, and a lot of major companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, Honda, and Microsoft expanding here.

You can just google “Shuk Rentals” and it should be the first thing to pop up.

Google every similar site within 300 miles and go visit.

I moved here from Portland in 2020 to invest and now own 10+ rentals, and what makes it so strong is the combination of affordability and growth—you can still find 3 bed 2 bath homes in that $120–180K range that hit the 1% rule, cash flow well, and are backed by huge long-term fundamentals with population growth, job growth, and major companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, Honda, and Microsoft moving in.

I moved here from Portland in 2020 and now own 10+ rentals—it’s one of the hottest markets in the country right now with huge job growth, companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, and Honda investing here, and you can still find properties in the $120–180K range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow day one.

Right now, I’m starting with a manual process in google sheets to avoid data duplication, but I want to implement something long term that consolidates everything in one place.
