I'm not sure if I am prepared to buy a property in Columbus on my own, but I may be more interested as an active or passive partner. 

My partners & I are flipping in Chattanooga so I hung out there for a couple of days, meeting my contractor and agent for the first time; of course I went by and took at our flip. 

As a CPA and real estate investor who is a general partner in two syndications, I want to share some practical advice to set realistic expectations.

However LP's entity  both in Canada and the USA treated the same as flow thru's entities and that may be what he would want to create an LP to partner instead of a LLC.

I think it’s one of those “underrated” markets that’s starting to get more attention.Of course, since you’re looking to invest from out of state, you’ll want to partner with a solid local team.

My business partner and I mainly just work with investors here and we work with first time investors all the time.

In Phoenix, for instance, I’ve watched investors bring in a local property management crew who know how to squeeze every last dollar of value out of a rental, or partner up with local 1031 exchange specialists like AccuTitle to keep the paperwork tidy.
