Hi Heather, I think that before making any decision you should connect with some investors in Columbus, and as Antoine had mentioned, create a plan for how you plan to invest the capital.

@Antoine Martel you know I’ve been looking at Ohio-liked Cleveland area due to strong healthcare market.

I agree with @Antoine Martel and wouldn't do this.

@Antoine Martel thanks Antoine for the advise but he did say it was “non refundable”

@Antoine Martel any suggestions on areas to look at first?

@Antoine Martel I target certain sellers with direct mail marketing.

@Antoine MartelI did find one, I can’t believe how incredibly hard it is to find though.

@Antoine MartelThanks so much for your response Antoine!

@Antoine Martel How exactly would I get a property under contract without having the loan approved yet?
