He seemed like a big-time agent who works with a lot of long-term investors.

As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!  

I evaluate the performance of every income generating property that I own. 

I would love to hear from those who have actually invested in these areas vs. realtors/real estate agents.  

Purchase price: $2,800,000 Cash invested: $560,000 The property is a three-story multi-family residential building with six independent units, initially facing significant challenges due to poor conditions.Renovation Investment Summary:- **Structural Repairs:** $250,000- **Kitchen Modernization:** $100,000- **Bathroom Updates:** $50,000- **Exterior Improvements:** $100,000- **Holding Costs:** $50,000- **Property Taxes:** $30,000- **Insurance Costs:** $10,000- **Management Services:** $10,000

Also, does this apply to an owner who owns and manages their own portfolio?  

Connect with a local real estate agent and run the numbers. 

Try being an agent, your phone number is EVERYWHERE and you get targeted by a whole industry that wants to sell you the latest gimmick.Here is what helped me.I answer calls and when it's a telemarketer I will interrupt them and say very friendly (because I don't hate the poor person who gets paid to do this and coached to be ruthless): Hey, so glad you called, can you do me a big favor? 

Any investors or agents in Porto?

They already made their investment using their own reasoning; now it's your turn.Happy Hunting!
