@Rene Hosman As a property manager with 20 years experience and a portfolio of 1,000+ single family homes, I can say concessions like reduced rent rarely work well for smaller landlords.

I don't know where to invest, really drawn to Columbus for many reasons (some cash flow and stable appreciation)--what's been some people's positive and negative experiences in Columbus? 

I would love to talk with you to hear of your experience with him.

The forums are full of experienced investors who are happy to share advice and tips to help you succeed.Best,Jarret

Flat Fee MLS Brokers for sellers have been around for a long time, but Flat Fee Broker/Agents for buyers with a cash credit/rebate of the buyer agent commission are quite new and just starting to get some market share.

If you are looking for proper guidance from someone that has house hacked quite a few times and has the knowledge and experience to help get you going in the right direction, I recommend reaching out to @Josh Green.

What's your experience level at this time? 

@Michael Plaks interesting feedback, thanks for sharing. 

If CA landlords can share their thoughts and direct experiences, I’d be grateful.
