It’s one of those markets where you can still get in at a reasonable entry point but also ride the appreciation wave as the city continues to grow.Curious if others here on BP are noticing similar dynamics in their markets — are you seeing that same combination of affordability + growth elsewhere, or is this more unique to Columbus right now?

My focus is on connecting the right people with the right projects – whether it’s an investment property, a business venture, or a unique opportunity that requires the right partner.I’m always open to new connections and collaborations.

Hello, I have a unique situation going on and was seeking extra confirmation and ideas on the current deal I'm in.Basically the property is transferred via deed, I sign a promissory note for a set amount, and record a deed of trust.

This caused a historically unique opportunity for investors - they could buy Class A properties and immediately cashflow when renting them out.This couldn't last forever, and it didn't, as excited new investors drove up prices.

It now operates as a unique Airbnb at my RV park in Nephi, Utah—guests love the countryside RV experience.

Places like South Padre or the Smokies are oversaturated, so unless you have a truly unique property or killer location, it’s hard to stand out.

Structure and View ShotWhy it works: Highlights your property’s unique design and surrounding scenery.How to nail it: Pair a ground-level shot with a drone perspective.Example: This listing3.

Quote from @Ed Furst: Hi all,My business partner and I are exploring financing strategies for two distinct investment approaches and would greatly value input from this community:Central Florida (Orlando metro – Clermont, Winter Garden, Leesburg, Maitland): We’re focused on flips/rehabs and are evaluating how other investors have leveraged hard money or creative financing in this market.Pontiac, Michigan: We’re exploring a “Build to Sell” strategy—purchasing land and working with a construction partner to build single-family homes for resale.Specifically, we’re hoping to hear about your experiences with:Typical LTV ratios lenders are offering in these marketsWhether your lender was willing to roll holding/closing costs into the initial loanHow many points lenders required on the backendAny unique structures you’ve used (creative financing, joint ventures, etc.) that worked wellWe’d love to connect with investors who have navigated these financing routes—what worked, what didn’t, and which lenders or approaches you found most effective.Looking forward to learning from your experiences, and happy to share details on our approach if it helps the discussion.Thanks in advance! 

I understand that every investor's journey is specific and unique based upon individual needs and objectives; with that being said - I also believe there are (as with most industries) best practices alongside ill-advised practices that are generally common to all.Back in Feb., after a year+ of reading this and that, my wife and I jumped into the REI game.
