Any insight would be most appreciated.Hi Melissa, I work with quite a few canadian clients in the Columbus Ohio market so have tons of experience with this!

Can you suggest a few good insurance providers that operate in that market?

It seems most off market deals I've found have been from larger acquisition groups.  

It's nice to hear from an investor who is doing the same thing in the same market. 

I think it's the best market in the whole country in my opinion.

How is your market right now? 

There are several myths that we have to debunk before someone truly believes they can do it.You need millions of dollars to do a dealThat it’s too complicated to figure outThat permitting takes yearsIn those communities developments cost way less (think a couple hundred thousand along with a loan from a regional bank), permitting is not difficult (much less red tape), and the towns are small enough that both the city staff and the local architects and engineers and contractors all work with you to help you navigate the process since you’re all invested in making your community better.Note: The big boys can play in the primary & secondary markets.

I'm in the marketing field and wish I would have done construction.

I know pools are a must have amenity to compete in many markets and I have to admit that I'm a bit hesitant to enter those markets due to the potential liability risk.
