@Remington Lyman Do you feel Single family is a better return on investment than Multi's in Ohio.

What are your REI goals in 2025? Are you looking to buy your first investment? Use PassivePockets and invest in a large syndication deal? Do you want to sell off some of your units? Get into glamping?

I'll share first: I plan on spending the first bit of the year saving for my next deal--I'm looking for a SFH somewhere in the midwest to long-term rent. Still open to market ideas (so if you have any ideas, please share!) but mostly considering Ohio or Indiana at this point. Open to any advice here too

Hi!

I am starting out newbie, have young kids, have been a homemaker, but now want to do more for the family financially while also being available for my family. After reading & researching, I have decided to take the real estate route, read 'Rental Property Investing" and came out with the plan to buy single family homes LTR cash flow. I live in California, but being the market it is, I want to invest outside. I have garnered a 50K to get started, I am having difficulty choosing markets, although I have shortlisted it to be a 'landlord friendly state". It looks so wide and vast, I am overwhelmed and don't know where to start. I have been reading the forums out here but how should I narrow down to that one market?

I also tried biggerpockets/wheretostart, but for some reason the .xls would constantly keep opening skype files. What am I doing wrong here?

What should be my next step to narrow down and research?

I am also beginning to talk to CPAs and attorneys, but not sure What all questions I should have cleared at a minimum, to confidently take the big step.

I may be over thinking, but I think it is also the cautious me who does not want to screw up financially in my desire to help the family financially.

Hi everyone,

My name is Celine, and I live in Los Angeles. I've been learning about real estate investing and am ready to take action on my first out-of-state property using the BRRRR method (with plans for short-term rentals). I have enough cash to invest and am considering cities like Indianapolis, IN; Cincinnati, OH; Cleveland, OH; Atlanta, GA; and Charlotte, NC.

I’m looking to purchase houses around $300K, with the intention of fixing them up. For experienced out-of-state investors, where have you invested? Which cities and areas do you think have the greatest potential for appreciation?

Thanks in advance for sharing your insights!

We are OOS investors and have a small portfolio (5total) SFH and duplex in the Northwest Arkansas area. We live in Austin, TX and are looking to expand however NWA has become quite overpriced and as such we are looking into the midwest and are particularly interested in Columbus OH, Milwaukee, Kansas areas. We invest for long term buy and hold in good areas B+

Due to extreme highly demanding W2 jobs we are looking for credible FULLY vertically integrated turnkey companies to partner with. We are looking for companies that OWN and are accountable for the full end-to-end process including purchasing, rehabbing/build, post-close property management. We aren’t looking for someone who is accountable for a subprocess and has “partners” they can refer us to for other processes. We need a seamless one accountable partner approach.

We would appreciate recommendations from anyone who has had good experiences with in these markets. Thanks in advance.

My main focus is Class B and maybe some C+ properties around NE Columbus, as well as outside 270 from the North to the east side. I am open to at least looking at any multifamily around Columbus though.

Any referrals for hard money lenders that will work with new investors in Ohio? I’m in college and am looking for funding for my first Brrrr deal. I have a 760 credit score and 70k with no debt. I’ve also been interning with an experienced investor for over 6 months so I’ve gotten familiar with how the process works. 

Hey Everyone!  My name is Tyler Edmister. I've done a few fix and flips and have decided I want to focus on multifamily properties in Columbus.  I'm here to network and learn.  I joined a mentor group earlier this summer also to help accelerate the process.

A little about me...

I joined the Marines out of high school and served for one enlistment. I came back to Ohio and started working for a construction company, and have been there since. (2017) Currently I manage an asphalt plant for them in Columbus.

I haven't done a ton of real estate investing, but have a strong understanding of construction, and project management.  I'm looking to build a team to take down deals primarily in the Columbus area.

New to BiggerPockets.  Interested in networking and learning more about multifamily investing.  Live in the Columbus Ohio area.  Work currently in the accounting field and I’m a licensed CPA in the state of Ohio and West Virginia.

I’d like to start a new kind of real estate brokerage. It would dually represent buyers and sellers and charge a total commission of no more than 0.6%. Instead of depending on buyer agents to drive prospects from house to house, prospects would tour houses themselves, and unlicensed “door-openers” would admit them. The listing agreement would include within the commission property photos, a set number of “door-opener” tours, some hours of phone/Zoom consultation with a licensed agent to set a listing price and discuss offers, counter-offers, and closing mechanics. Ideally AI could improve the property analytics that shape listing prices, a competitive advantage over other brokers. While this brokerage would start in Ann Arbor, I would want it to expand to all of Southeast Michigan, then statewide, and ultimately nationwide.

Initial target users would be investors/flippers, in other words, more frequent flyers than typical homebuyers. Yes, this brokerage would eliminate buyer-broker commissions, which are under threat, anyway. Agents would be paid hourly, not by commissions: the brokerage and not the licensed agent-advisors would drive all listing leads. Agent-advisors would merely provide advice, coordinate property photos, and review offers with their principals. 

Agents, tell me why this is a bad idea. Be as blunt as you can.
