Hey guys, I am planning on relocating to Columbus Ohio from New York by the end of the year. I’m visiting for the first time in August. And eventually wants to buy an investment property. Any landlords or investors with short term rentals were I can reside when I visit and hopefully talk about real estate?

@Benjamin Obeng ah, so if you are moving to another area you will likely need to lean on a real estate agent to find a home.  If that agent is any good, they should have a very good loan officer to refer you to.  Interview a few realtors and make sure that it's something you speak about with him/her.  Thanks!

@Andrew Postell, thank you so much. I appreciate it
