Having a meeting of local investors tomorrow at 6:30p at Bar Louie downtown. All are welcome to join to talk business and passive income!

Rob - I am an eviction attorney. Please give me a call. Thanks.

My wife would love to help you. Please message me for her details. 

I currently have an Outlook invite being circulated. Unfortunately, I'm not a pro on BP, so I cannot create an event on here. But anyone who is interested in coming is welcome to message me with their email address and I will add them to the email chain that I've built up with the regular attendees.

Details:     9/13/17 @ 6:30p at Bar Louie downtown. Hopefully we can double down on having these meetings!

Address: 504 North Park Street, Columbus, OH 43215

Nathan - I actually just started a monthly meet up just like the one you are proposing. I think its a great idea to compare ideas and connect with new people. I own a duplex in Strawberry Farms and a single family in Trabue Woods, so I think our investments have similar metrics. Anyone on this thread is welcome to attend my meeting as well, which will likely be held on 9/13 @ 6:30 at a TBD location. Can't go to too many of these meetings!!!

I would love to attend your event Nathan, and look forward to meeting every one on 8/31. Thanks for organizing.

I appreciate everyone's insight on this matter. Thank you. 

All, 

I currently own a duplex and a single family home in Columbus. As I make renovations to increase rents, I can't help but wonder whether we are heading for a crash in the market. With the transportation grant from the Feds, the new ENORMOUS metro park development on the West side, and downtown sprawling out further and further, it seems as if we are heading toward continue prosperity in real estate prices for some time to come. 

Can anyone think of ANYTHING that could hurt this market???? Asking for a paranoid friend....

Brandon - A little late to this thread, but I currently own a duplex in Strawberry Farms. I recently renovated one of the units and was able to successfully raise rent from $775 to $1100 per month on one side. I had about 14 requests for showing too. Now, in April of 2018 when my other tenant moves out, I plan on renovating that unit and raise rent from $875 to $1200 a month. Hope this gives you some guidance as to rents, although my duplex is in the City of Columbus with Westerville taxes, not in Westerville. 

Rachel - Hope you were able to find some assistance.
