ISO: Property Manager & Contractor
Hi BP,
First, I love this community! It's been so helpful.
I am new out of state investor with an accepted offer on a duplex in Columbus. I am building out my team and am in search of a property manager and contractor. I am primarily looking at properties in Hilltop, North Linden, Franklinton, and the various areas east of downtown.
I have called a few property managers so far and they are not very responsive. I realize I'm a small fish with just a duplex starting out, but I hope to have 8-10 doors in Columbus by end of next year. Hopefully there is someone out there you can recommend who is knowledgeable and experienced but still has the time to work with a newbie like myself.
This duplex seems to need a new kitchen, paint, and maybe some new flooring, but who knows what the inspection will turn up. I am looking to find a contractor who is looking to build a relationship with new investor for the long term. I myself am somewhat of a numbers guy so ideally someone who has an eye for the modern day design choices (while keeping budget in mind).
I just arrived to Columbus this evening so would love to meet folks this week while I'm here. If there are any REAI events or meetups this week, I would love to hear about them!
Thanks in advance!
-Christian

@Christian Clark awesome job, well done!
While we do not invest in Columbus, OH we know a bunch of people who do and are very successful. We also invest remotely and have done so for a few years.
I just wanted to reach out, say hey, and offer up any help, tools, tips, tricks, resources, learnings, if you are interested.
Please do not hesitate to reach out, connect and DM me
