This may be an even stronger argument in your favor.

I would encourage you to see about getting something before you separate as your ability to get a loan should be stronger now - but talking to a great lender will give you the ultimate answer you'll need about that. 

Have you ever wanted to ask @Dave Meyer questions about the Housing Market, Economy, or Investing in general?

Buckle up, get stronger then enter it.

And the economy is cyclical.

It's a killer market with very friendly regulations, since the local economy depends heavily on vacation rentals.

But, I am sure there is a significant economy of scale and this is a 232k sq ft, not 20k.

You are all set to begin your search.I work with a lot of out-of-state investors that like investing in Columbus because it is an investor-friendly state and properties have good cash flow and stronger appreciation.
