Hi @Jacob Bejarano, Many successful investors start in their 40s or 50s with strong income, discipline, and savings habits already in place.. all big advantages.

The DSCR and Cap Rate both look strong — even if expenses came in higher, you’d still have good breathing room.

Rent growth has a strong relationship to appreciation.

Henry makes an important point about the value of strong construction lender relationships.

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.

They’ll tell you which neighborhoods still book strong and which are oversaturated.Run conservative numbers.

The macro picture here is really strong—tons of job growth, population growth, and major companies moving in like Intel, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Honda, Microsoft, and LG.
