New Apartment Investor from NYC Wants to Invest in Columbus Ohio

Hi everyone! I've been listening to the podcasts and checking out the forums—you have an amazing community here. I'm an urban planner in New York for my day job, but I want to start buy-and-hold investing in apartment buildings to create additional income. I looked at opportunities locally, but the numbers are tough right now for buy-and-hold cash flow investing, especially for someone like me just getting started. I looked all over the US and decided to focus on the Columbus, OH metro. Most days I work remotely, so I can spend a significant amount of time in Ohio. I'm trying to be open and learn whatever I can right now, so my approach might change, but to begin with, my intention is to acquire small-and-medium sized class B and C multi-family properties, increase NOI, and hold for the long-term. For now I'm learning the market and meeting other people in the industry, and on BP, I'm looking forward to connecting with fellow members of the community and giving back however I can.
