Columbus is a great market to consider if you're leaning towards appreciation.

I do appreciate that every REI property is different and have used many of the existing calculators to do the math, including Rent to Retirement (leaning towards using them) and that it is not easy to get instant thousands per month in cash flow.

Certain cities seems to lean to one or the other so we go with what the local norm is when we are trying to add value/appeal to local buyers or tenants.

I was already leaning towards not doing subto, so that gives me more confirmation in my decision!

Hey Dominic,Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're leaning towards appreciation.

Also the program leans heavily on educating yourself on taxes and accounting which I thought was valuable and helped me with some other businesses, thinking about how to set them up differently and work them into my life plan a bit more appropriately.  

I was leaning away from D4D since I'm an efficiency guy, didn't seem like the best way to find a deal.

To directly answer your question I would lean towards Grays Ferry.

Please let me know how APM is, I had been leaning towards using them for one of my properties :)

When we started I had a lot more time to lean into old home problems than I do today.
