Networking in Columbus, OH in Jan 2023

Thank you for clicking this post and showing your interest in reading this post!

As the title says, I am looking to connect with locals in Columbus, OH, in Jan 2023.  I have never been to the city before, and I am planning to visit the city in Jan 2023, and I am hoping to meet locals to connect with and also drive around areas to understand the neighborhoods in the area.  I searched for a networking event in the area, but I did not see one, and perhaps, I will create my network event.  Are you interested?

[Background]

I have not purchased any properties in my life "yet," and I have been searching for small multi-family units in NY state.  My goal is to purchase ten units in the next three years, and I realize that the rate I am submitting offers will not be able to realistically meet the target so I had to search for a different market to invest in, and Columbus, OH caught my attention.   The reasons for picking Columbus are 1) my sister lives in Columbus, OH; 2) my family lives in Detroit, MI, and Columbus is on the way from NYC; 3) there are more small multi-family units that are affordable (relative to one in NY); 4) Ohio is landlord friendlier than New York.
