If you've heard a good podcast or read a good book I'd love a recommendation. 

Update, Michelle and Michael are still members at MAREI and still not a single complaint and I know several of our members who use them and give good reports.

I’m looking to purchase my first multi family home in the city of Colombus and am looking for the hard numbers, metrics I should be on the lookout for, and sample properties to get my hands wet as far as what’s considered a good deal and area to invest in.

Recognizing their critical role, the Best-Performing Cities (BPC) index evaluates the relative economic performance of 403 metropolitan areas, providing valuable insights into the strengths and vulnerabilities of these economic powerhouses.The BPC index utilizes 13 key metrics, combining labor market conditions, high-tech industry growth, and access to economic opportunities.

Looks like the slab is in good shape. 

With today's high interest rates, it usually doesn't make sense.

Good luck!

While it might be good to focus on newer 3/2/2 homes, if you catch a deal that is 2/1 and in the city next door to your target, it is always something to consider.

Especially in a high interest rate environment where cash flows on long term rentals are muted and there is significant capital required to purchase and list on airbnb.I live near NYC but would invest out of state in an airbnb / landlord friendly state.

There's a good chance the issue(s) you face has already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.
