For LTRs, prioritize markets with population growth and strong job markets.Wherever you choose, work with an investor-friendly agent who knows the local market and can help you analyze deals.

Cheers to closing out 2024 strong and moving into 2025 with intentionality!

As an investor myself, I moved here from Portland OR because of the strong macroeconomics of the Columbus market.

But I always send them to my clients.

It's easily the number 1 savior i've seen in multiple of my clients.

He has helped quite a few of my clients with their STR needs and is an expert at what he does. 

I came back to Ohio and started working for a construction company, and have been there since. (2017) Currently I manage an asphalt plant for them in Columbus.I haven't done a ton of real estate investing, but have a strong understanding of construction, and project management. 

After they renovate, they sell it to Doorvest clients (people like me) for ~150K-170K.

That is not a benefit for you, nor any kind of evidence that they are worthy of becoming a resident.That issue aside, I would not allow someone with a recent eviction on my property unless the "unfortunate circumstance" was unlikely to recur AND they otherwise have a strong historical track record of making payments AND they would put down a very large security deposit.

I moved from the SF Bay Area to live and invest in Reno, NV because of it being much more landlord friendly, low property taxes, close to Northern CA and Lake Tahoe, strong appreciation, and I understood the market after speaking to a bunch of people and feeling confident about the future here.
