The National Retail Federation (NRF) reports declines of 6.5% in back-to-school spending and 7.9% for back-to-college, with shoppers focusing on frugal choices amid rising inflation concerns and an upcoming presidential election.During the pandemic, families spent more on school supplies and remote learning gear, but priorities have shifted to travel, dining, and entertainment.

So, if you’re looking for long-term growth, Columbus is worth a look.Cleveland is another solid choice with 3-7% appreciation and strong cash flow between 10-18%.

In most markets owning a B&B is a lifestyle choice.

Unfortunately, the path you take is not always by choice.

Hi Jesse, congrats on your choice, you won't regret! 

It's not a one-way choice.

That's what is great about real estate, the opportunity for FREEDOM in time and lifestyle choices.

.- Property Management: With companies like Champion Investments managing a large portfolio of properties in the area, there seems to be a robust infrastructure for property management, which could be beneficial for out-of-town investors.- Market Knowledge: Local real estate companies like RE/MAX Select, with their 18 full-time agents, indicate a strong local real estate community that could provide valuable market insights.In conclusion, Shelby's real estate market shows potential for investment, particularly given its price growth and strategic location.

You'll get everything you're looking for and more in Ohio.Pretty happy with my decision to move to Columbus but Cincy and Cleveland are also great choices in my opinion.

I feel like I'm in a rat race with my W2 job and trying to find deals in real estate and generate other income (stocks are my current choice).
