Hello Columbus! sell me or scare me

[Ken Livingston]

Hello all. NJ resident here who is looking for an out of state area to do some investing. My area is just too damn expensive. I have done a lot of reading and research and Columbus has definitely caught my eye. I already have a realtor as well as finance and Insurance people I have had conversations with there.  I am looking is the small multifamily or single family areas to start. 

   I guess what I am basically asking for is for opinions to sell me either way. 

   Have I picked a good area or am I a fool and should restart my search in another area?
