Investing in Columbus
Hey all members! Just another newbie hoping to get feet wet in real estate investing, and trying to not get analysis paralysis. Columbus seems to be a good balance of current cash flow and long term appreciation, and looking at a buy and hold strategy. My goal is to do just enough to become finically independent with multiunit apartments, and I want to start small in an area that I can grow into. Currently house hacking my condo in San Diego!
My main hurdle is management. I would absolutely love to self manage, but there isn’t a market within a 500 mile radius of me that makes sense to start. If anyone has great experience with PM in the Columbus area I would appreciate the referral!

@Peter Eberhardt
Hi Peter. I’m also from San Diego, and heading to Columbus dec 4-6 to start looking at properties as well. Let me know if you want to bounce some deals or info off each other.
