Rent growth has a strong relationship to appreciation.

Columbus especially has been super strong with population and job growth, huge developments coming in, and it's been one of the most stable Midwest markets for rent growth.

I’m not coming in with a huge amount of capital, but I bring time, motivation, and a strong willingness to learn.

I do still see strong tenant demand in the A/B areas.

.• In the “fast” markets, strong demand and tight inventory are fueling appreciation. 

Demand is strong, vacancy is low, and it has that established neighborhood stickiness that tends to hold value even during slower markets.

I’m looking to build a solid relationship with someone who understands the BRRRR-style model and is comfortable working with this type of tenant setup (sober living, structured housing).Appreciate any insights or recommendations, especially from those who’ve built strong lender relationships over multiple deals.

The macroeconomics are on fire—tons of population growth, strong job creation, and massive companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Honda investing heavily here.

Connecting with local investors and brokers will help you uncover strong opportunities.

Stay curious, build strong connections, and keep moving forward, you’re in a great spot to grow.
