Seeking Connections: Building Relationships in Columbus, Ohio

[Kevin Duong]

Hey BiggerPockets Community!

I've been a dedicated consumer of BiggerPockets content and podcasts for years, soaking up knowledge and inspiration. However, I've never taken action until now. Living in Los Angeles, I've realized that affordability is a major hurdle here. So, I've set my sights on investing in Columbus, Ohio. My plan is to create a mid-term rental specifically for traveling nurses.

Before reaching out to real estate agents, I aim to secure preapproval from a lender. I'm eager to connect with fellow investors, learn from your experiences, and build valuable connections.

Hey Kevin, love the MTR niche, I work with a lot of clients who do exactly that and are seeing huge success! As an investor agent here in Columbus Ohio, my best advice is vetting your team members extremely careful and making sure it's with people who have your best interests at heart and aren't looking to use you as their next paycheck. Also, please make sure to use an investor agent because they've already set up the infrastructure in terms of having lenders, GCs, property managers, etc. In terms of looking for a lender, I can refer you over to my rockstar lender, she's amazing and will give you the best rates possible. I've cold called over 30+ mortgage lenders and found she's better than all of them. As a local investor and agent here in Columbus Ohio, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect
