I would see how noisy it is from inside the house.You also have to worry about Families with smal children or pets.I would try and find something else.

.: Hi All, I bought a rental property in a quiet neighborhood a few years ago and recently noisy neighbors moved next door to my current tenant. 

If your husband wants some gold for macro/hedge reasons, that’s fine — but I’d keep that in the long-term sleeve, not the “waiting room” sleeve.Your overall allocation story makes sense.Right now you’re concentrated in real estate + Roths.

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.

   •   For fix & flip strategy: The lower entry barrier + exit market of ~$258K gives you margin if you keep rehab cost controlled and target ARV appropriately.Both counties present good opportunities for investment via distressed properties, but the macro dynamics differ: Paulding is a bit more expensive/mature, Polk gives a lower cost-entry and hence potentially higher % upside

There's plenty of free deal analysis tools, and some advanced digital tools at a low cost.AI becomes more helpful in this area drafting multiple scenarios to maximize profit, minimize risk, and suggest the best risk/reward strategies.Taking it to the next level, AI takes local and macro market trends to expand on the financial modeling.For multifamily & commercial, there's a lot more that AI can do to model predictions and performance that investors would pay a premium for.

The Columbus market’s macro picture looks amazing—Intel’s $26B project, steady job and population growth, and companies like Amazon, Google, Honda, and Nationwide expanding here all fuel both appreciation and rent demand.

And expect much scrutiny from US-China hawks on national security concessions, Congress is likely going to be pretty noisy this week.

HSV market has seen some cool down in the past 6-12 months one due to macro events (interest rates etc) and secondly due to the city banning STR/AirBnBs which resulted in huge increase in rental supply resulting in much longer vacancies.Also agree with @Michael S. that new builds will not cash flow but most likely that is the case almost in every other market...I have seen builder getting little anxious to get rid of their inventory and you might get some deals in there but you will have to hold it long term.I feel in the long term HSV will be a solid investment.

I moved here from Portland in 2020 to invest and now own 10+ rentals, and what I love about this market is the strong macro story—fast population and job growth, huge investment from major companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, Honda, LG, Microsoft, and Facebook, and properties still in the $120K–180K range that hit the 1% rule with solid cash flow and appreciation potential.
