.: I signed up for it a few months ago, ask me anything Do you have trouble finding livable houses in this price range?

Columbus is still super affordable (you can find deals in the $130K–$180K range that hit the 1% rule), and it's growing fast with companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, and Honda pouring billions into the area.

For example, here in Columbus, Ohio, we’re still finding properties in the $120–180K range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow day one, even with DSCR terms.

I recommend staying in the $100-$110k price range as those properties are typically more turn key than sub $100k.

The fun activities I partake in range from reading books to skydiving to obtain my USPA cert.Would love to start networking with all the awesome & creative like minded people within this forum.

What is your price range/down payment amount?

If you’re starting to look at markets, I’d definitely recommend checking out Columbus, Ohio—it’s one of the strongest rental markets in the country right now with population and job growth, major companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, and Honda moving in, and you can still find affordable properties in the $120–180K range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow from day one.

This is their primary residence and the value increased quite a bit since 2017 to where conservative value of the home today is in the $625K to $650K value range.

What’s nice is you can still pick up properties in the $120–180K range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow from day one, and with your 450K you could easily diversify into three or four cash-flowing deals here instead of putting all your eggs in one basket.

It's all part of the long-range strategy.
