    Love this! So many of my clients are out of state investors doing exactly the same thing. (most likely because they almost all come from BiggerPockets ha!)


    Please let me know how I can help connect you with others' looking to do the same or if I can help run super quick estimates and numbers for you or anyone you are working with for the flips. I work closely with 7 or 8 investors that all specialize in fix&flip as well as "fix&rent" type loans and can help provide insights and rate quotes/cost total estimates if needed!

    Hey David, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio. There's so many catalysts for population and job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide Hospital, etc). I can definitely tell you there's still a lot of positive cash flowing and 1% rule deals and you get amazing appreciation. As an investor and agent here in Columbus Ohio, if you have any questions or want to connect, definitely reach out!

      Hello Hello! I'm an investor and a loan officer, and I've been tinkering with the idea of flipping a property out there. I currently own an Akron student housing, right near the university. I'd love to have a conversation with you and bounce some ideas around.

      It's great to hear about your interest in investing in Ohio! To build your team, start by connecting with experienced local real estate agents and brokers who understand the market. Seek recommendations for licensed general contractors and wholesalers from real estate networks. Look for insurance professionals specializing in real estate, and reach out to local lenders to discuss your investment plans. Research property management companies and attend local events to expand your network. Online platforms like LinkedIn and BiggerPockets can also be helpful. Remember to conduct due diligence and ask for references. Good luck with your Ohio investments!

       David - You can definitely find the right team here on BP. I recommend finding a good agent who can provide you with the right contacts for a GC, lender, PM and the right off-market deal flow.

      Hello David and welcome to BP! The first thing I would do is find a investor friendly agent. They have a great team already built around them through their experience. This includes PM's, inspectors, lenders, GC's, and all the subcontractors you need (electricians, HVAC, plumbing, etc.)

      Would love to connect and talk more about investing in Cincinnati. Tons of opportunity for cash flow and appreciation (Cincinnati is GROWING).
