Hello Savannah, I would recommend you to start in the midwest, because the entry point is much lower and cash flows the best. As long as you develop your Core 4 like David Green’s mentioned in his long-distance investing strategy (realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender), you should be able to invest anywhere with confidence. I buy in Columbus, Ohio. Columbus has experienced so much growth for the past few years, partly due to the influx of tech giants like Intel ($20 billion), Meta, Amazon, and Google building warehouses and data centers in the area, which has contributed to an increase in property prices and more people moving into the city for job opportunities. I also invest in Cleveland and Dayton. Let me know how I can help!

Hello Jake, if you are going to invest locally I would really recommend house hacking. That is what I did here in Columbus, Ohio when I started investing in 2020.

Here is an additional article with more information on what a house hack is - https://www.rocketmortgage.com/learn/house-hacking

Let me know how can I help!

Hello Aj,
It's great to know that you are exploring the midwest market in which the entry point is much lower and cash flows the best. Columbus, Ohio is a great market to pick up rental properties because of the lower home prices and demand from renters. JPMorgan Chase, Nationwide, Honda, L Brands, Huntington, and Amazon are just a few of the many companies that have thousands of jobs in the city. New Albany is home to several major data centers including ones operated by Amazon, Google and Facebook, whose parent company, Meta, announced plans in the spring to expand its New Albany campus.

I invest locally in Columbus Ohio. I can send you a list of contacts in Ohio to help you build your team, property manager. Let me know how I can help!

Hello Craig. Consider adding Ohio to your list of potential markets for rental properties. Columbus, Ohio is particularly attractive due to its affordable home prices and high demand from renters. Additionally, major corporations such as JPMorgan Chase, Nationwide, Honda, L Brands, Huntington, and Amazon bring in thousands of job opportunities to the city.
