New investor in CA looking for SFHs around Columbus, OH

[Colin Haag]

Hi everyone! I've been listening to the podcast and doing some REI reading for the past few years, but I think it's finally time for me to make a move. I'm excited to finally be joining the community!

I lived in Ohio for the first 26 years of my life and got my mechanical engineering degree at THE Ohio State University, but I'm currently living in the SF Bay Area. (David Greene is the man - his meetups have been very fun and very informative).

My goal is to purchase and rent my first single family home in the Columbus area by the end of the year. I'm looking for properties in B- areas (more or less), and my research has led me to look in Reynoldsburg.

I would absolutely love to hear any recommendations for agents or property managers in the area, and I'd also love to hear any thoughts on the state of the Columbus-area market. I'm worried that the market might already be too hot and high for what I'm hoping to accomplish.

Thanks for reading! Looking forward to meeting you.

Colin
