I am extremely new to this.

Trying to explore if there are still pockets in Nova where the returns make sense, given the high prices.Nova is extremely low risk, which is why cap rates are so low, the issue I honestly see with nova right now is the cap rates are often times below what you could get in a bond, and leverage is hurting you right now, I wouldn’t say I Would recommend not investing in nova or investing in high risk market, but personally I’d rather get something in the 5-7 cap rate range and take on slightly more risk to do so. 

I think proving the concept with your own capital is extremely powerful.

Not so much due to the higher rates and financing but they are getting tired of the extremes from both the government impact, Covid and renters.2024 I think will be an exciting time for investing, the same as 2023 was.

Ive been in the work force for 2 years now and have just started to become extremely interested in Real Estate over the past ~year.

I have seen posts where investors seem to be having success with airBnb rentals and/or acquiring "akiya" or other extremely cheap properties. 

We'd like to try a short term rental but the Oregon coast and Tahoe (two places I love) are extremely restrictive on doing this.

I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years.

There are plenty of trout in the water but as they are wild, they are extremely difficult to catch.I use dries and nymphs just depending on what is working.  

Being ready for this line of questioning can save you from an awkward conversation.I've been on many hundreds of showings to compile this, so don't let these wild answers discourage you or make you think all tenants are up to something.  95% of the conversations I've had are extremely pleasant and forthcoming, and I'm positive your experience will be the same.
