How valuable is this location in that market? 

Study the market.

All these properties were purchased for under 100k (not possible now, we got lucky with the downswing of the market at that time).

The cost is minimal and I am smoking the closest competitors in my market.

It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with so much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here (26B Intel headquarters being built here, 68K+ enrollment in Ohio State University, Amazon, FB, Google, Honda, Nationwide, Anduril, etc.).

Until the lease ends and then the legal notice time in your market has passed.

You might be very pleasantly surprised.To conclude, it's great to have more new members like you from Europe contributing to the forum.

What's your criteria for the market you're interested in?

However, if you’re running an investment group in another market, we’re open to licensing it or finding a way to make it work for both parties.If this sounds useful, DM me or comment below, and I’d be happy to share more details!
