I have seen a ton of Californians venturing towards Columbus for the tech growth.

Personally, I would probably invest in 1/2 in the S&P 500, 1/3 in the tech monopolies, and 1/6 in real estate. 

Quote from @Locke Tucker: What type of rental is it?

I think your demographic might be more hotel people rather than families.I would also still go with smart locks on every door.

For example, I hate to sell anything, but I am selling two properties to raise funds for a new primary that meets my goals.Study the market and really lock in what it will rent for.

Once you get this information to them you will also be required to do a zoom call and walk around showing them some of this info - the office, any signage, and locks on doors.

Try not to get locked in too long 4. we're not necessarily looking to go "all out" in terms of theming, but if we did, what kind of revenue does that bring/ROI can you expect, and which Renos for theming are best to do from a cost-benefit analysis, and what do they typically cost?

Personally, it’s something I always expect from a short-term rental, and it can have a huge impact on your reviews.To make things easier for both you and your guests, consider smart tools like locks, outdoor cameras, and smart thermostats.

Have an owner's closet, where you lock up your extra inventory so the guests can't use it. 

The ability to get funding in just a few days can make a world of difference, allowing investors to act quickly and lock in the best opportunities.I’m curious, in your experience, what strategies have you found most effective for building strong relationships with reliable direct lenders?
