A lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in the Midwest because of the affordability and numbers making more sense.

Prices in Columbus are still low enough to find 1% rule deals and there's a ton of appreciation happening in this market as well. I actually moved from Florida to Columbus for the real estate. I saw how fast the city was growing and decided to make the jump.

If you live in Cleveland (a cash-flowing market), I wouldn't look OOS at another pretty similar market.

Welcome to BP Cole! 

With experience in construction and sales, you'll definitely be able to use those skills to your advantage when doing value-add deals.

The better the deal is, the easier it will be to do the BRRRR method and you can find some of the best deals off-market, so it's important to build a solid network and create deal flow so you can see as many opportunities as possible.

Quote from @Kemi Okosun:

Hello All,

My name is Kemi (Elizabeth). I am new to the real estate investing space. I hold a w-2 job currently and considering transitioning to holding some properties. I am considering investing in the Ohio market. I would like to connect with any member who invests in the Daytona or Columbus area of Ohio.

Question: Is there any recommendations on how to find discounted properties in the Ohio market or is a turnkey property the way to go?

Kindly let me know if possible.

Regards


Hey Kemi, 

I would start with something either turnkey or light value-add, so you can start forming your boots on the ground team with less pressure and risk. Once you feel you've built a strong team with your first property and have solid systems in place, I would then start buying more aggressively and taking on bigger projects.

I suggest reading this BP article on the core 4.
