Hello, I live in Seattle, WA. The market here is very expensive and mainly focused in building ADUs and appreciation. As this will be my first out of state investment, I'm looking to do more turnkey/light renovations, class B- or better neighborhoods, and focused on monthly cashflow rather than appreciation. Will be doing mostly cash. I know this is a unicorn of a buy box but any help would be great. Focused in Michigan or Ohio as I'm original from there, but any wisdom would be great!

Hey everyone,

I’m based in Oxford, MS and currently exploring my first out-of-state rental investment, with Columbus, OH catching my attention as a potential hot spot. From what I’ve seen in other posts and market research, Columbus seems to have solid rental demand and relatively affordable entry prices, especially compared to many other metro areas.

Here’s my current situation:

• I own one property here in Oxford that was our primary residence for 2 of the past 5 years.

• It’s currently on the market for sale, and we’re estimating around $160K–$180K in equity.

• Since it was our primary for 2+ years, we’re hoping to avoid capital gains tax using the IRS exemption.

• If it doesn't sell, we're looking into options to pull out some of that equity (HELOC, cash-out refi, etc.) to reinvest and grow our rental portfolio. Currently we have a 5.375% interest rate.

My goal is to use this capital to pick up a rental or two in a market with good long-term potential, and Columbus keeps coming up as a solid choice.

I’d love to connect with:

• Anyone investing in the Columbus area — What neighborhoods should I be looking at?

• Other out-of-state investors — What advice do you have for managing properties from afar?

• Agents, wholesalers, or PMs with local knowledge — I’m open to deals or partnerships if they make sense.

Appreciate any input, stories, or recommendations. Just trying to build smart and learn from those who’ve been there.

Thanks!

I’m a stay at home mom of two soon to be three little girls. I’m looking for any advice on how to get started with little to no money. Currently trying to educate myself on terminology and looking more towards house hacking because it’s an ideal starting point being a stay home mom. Any advice on where to start is appreciated. Thank you 😊

Hi everyone - My husband and I are looking to invest in brrrr and scale REI over next few years. Doing some early research - any investors in recent years who can recommend areas in mid-west states for Brrrr? This will be an out of state investment so looking for advice.
We have many more questions but I am going to create separate threads/questions. 

Newbie here! My husband and I are relocating to Toledo this summer. We currently rent, but we want to take the jump into house hacking! Based on current market.. it seems like slim picking. I'm sure more will come, but in the mean time:
