Pumped to be here!!

[Dylan Hattem]

Hey Everyone,

It's an absolute pleasure to be here. I'm currently based in New York City, and after watching a few friends enter into real estate from a few different angles, I started to dive into researching the industry recently.

I'm a 2x entrepreneur, building companies in both the creative and fintech space (as a side project I also created a non-profit during COVID to support the restaurant industry). Last year I took a step back from entrepreneurship and joined a tech startup in the blockchain space.

While I am still doing as much research as possible to develop my strategy, my current interest is in purchasing properties to buy and hold.

I am also exploring different markets, and so far, what's caught my eye has been Savannah, Georgia, Columbus, Ohio and Chattanooga, Tennessee.

I'm looking forward to learning connecting with as many people as possible.

In the meantime, send me some tips I won't find in the "Investing in Real Estate 101" books!

Columbus, Ohio is a great market to invest in. The population has been growing here year over year over the last decade, it is home to The Ohio State University which has over 50,000 students that live here along with those that visit, and it also holds a diverse range of young professionals and traveling nurses to fill the demand of the multiple business corporations and hospitals stationed here. The appreciation rate in Columbus has been 8% higher than the national average over the last year. Tech companies are continuously moving here and establishing a footprint in Columbus as well. Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs.

Another example of economic growth is the upcoming Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital which is a 1.9million square foot hospital that will bring over 800 new beds and a thousand new jobs.
