Hi Alyssa, I moved from Portland OR to Columbus OH a few years ago to start my REI journey.

Check out Columbus OH if you want to do Section 8 housing.

.: @Michael P.should not the capital of the US be changed to Columbus The capital of CA. was once in Benecia CA. so there is precedent to move it.

I have several Section 8 tenants myself here in Columbus, and overall, it's been a fairly easy process.

I subsequently purchased vacant land with the account too In the Columbus Ohio area.

If you do get something going in Columbus let me know!

putting a fund together to do this. there Is one in Texas called Texas triangle fund who raised 25 million dollars and focuses on national tract builders. individual funds versus pooled funds. higher end of the market is riskier the land entitlement guys I know wouldn't touch these unless it's entry level homes and national builder that is selling. good to have the contacts. in my two markets in Columbus Ohio and miami the only one where you can do this is Columbus Ohio because of affordable land prices.

But I look at it this way, let's say I answer someone's question in Columbus OH and it sits out there for a while and gets read by someone in New Jersey or California and it helps that person. 

Cleveland, Akron, Cincinnati, Columbus, Toledo and a few other cities.

For instance, if you're in some of the well known markets that multi-family does very well in ( Boston, Columbus, Etc. ) , multifamily could be a great starting point for your investment business.
