New to BP!
Hello BP! My name is Jace, and I am finally taking a leap into this Real estate world. Just in the research stage and processing all this information has been overwhelming ( In a GOOD way) I already know, San Diego is not the place I want to purchase, so I'm looking into Midwest areas, close to other family members. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Have a great week!

Hey Jace, welcome to BiggerPockets! It really comes down to what you're aiming for. If you're seeking a reliable income stream, consider checking out Cleveland OH. It has a strong potential for cash flow. On the other hand, if your focus is on appreciation, Columbus is the place to be. The appealing aspect here is the ongoing population growth and other economic factors. I'd be happy to connect if you wish to know more.
