Columbus has become a major tech hub in the midwest with large companies like Intel investing $20 billion, Amazon investing $3.5 billion, Google building 2 new data centers: one in downtown Columbus and the other in right outside of U.S. 33 in Lancaster.I recommend working with an investor-friendly agent who focuses on cold-outreach methods like cold-calling, cold-texting, etc to bring you off-market deals.

I'm biased and can provide reasons and data to show that using an agent will protect you, get you more money, less stress and so on.The reality is you can do it yourself, but tenants generally don't cooperate with showings and that causes lots of problems for buyer to access the unit to show, inspections, appraisals etc.

Here is my current set up:1) ShowMojo for managing the self showing listings (It has some self showing anti-fraud services, syncs with smart lockbox to issues codes, etc etc)2) CodeBox Jr smart lockbox where I have the keys3) ReoLink Go Plus Cellular Camera with a $5 per month T mobile data only sim card.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Otherwise, you won't have the extra funds necessary to cover the rising costs of goods and services in the future.What causes rents (and prices) to increase?

Renting it out would let you keep the asset, earn some extra cash, and possibly benefit from tax deductions like depreciation.

@Jeremy Werden Hi Jeremy, I have a question regarding BNB Calc data vs.

That would the extra 5k would technically come out of my own pocket, right? 

., new renovation, outdoor space, free parking, in unit laundry, extra storage, utilities included in rent.   

Data, data, data.We do NOT guess on appreciation, we have data and fact driven details, knowledge and insight of what the future is, the numbers, and fact based future casting for EVERYTHING including median home price etc..
