it will be a corporate/wellness retreat/short term rental destinationI need land that is close to the Action, but not too close, and preferably comes with two single family doors already built, so I can take advantage of Fannie Mae owner occupied loan and develop the rest of the land on my own and with private funding.Is Columbus a good market for this strategy?

I look forward to engaging with all of you and contributing to our shared journey in the real estate market.

Set a goal for yourself based on your needs, your location and your market and shoot for that.
