By no means a home run or the benefit of low money down or cash recycling with BRRRR, but that simple classic 1% minimum deal is still a much more solid return than other investment vehicles or dead money in the bank.

Hard money loans pay at 10+% interest, are short-term, so the money recycles quickly (the vast majority of the time), and you are first position on a deed of trust - meaning you can simply foreclose if things go wrong (research your state laws carefully, as this is truer in some states, and less true in others).

Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs.https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2022/01/21/intel-ohio-building-computer-chip-factories-licking-county-jersey-township/9173472002/ Another example of economic growth is the upcoming Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital which is a 1.9million square foot hospital that will bring over 800 new beds and a thousand new jobs. https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/new-osu-hospital-expected-to-transform-health-careHere are a few more recent investments https://www.10tv.com/article/money/business/hydrogen-power-company-hyperion-bringing-700-jobs-to-columbus/530-25907aab-5517-4661-a9f3-d2ed2d5be6b0 https://news.wosu.org/news/2022-02-08/rumpke-to-build-50-million-recycling-facility-in-columbus Check out The Complete Guide to the Columbus, Ohio Real Estate Market which goes through the Columbus, Ohio market in depth and will give you a better scope of where the highest levels of growth are taking place and where to look to invest.  

Steel is energy based whether virgin ore which China primarily does or recycled steel which the U.S. does.  

We are in very great times in the current business and RE cycles, thought the last 30 years alone tells us that won't last forever.  

[I hope you don't make a habit of waiting until the top of RE cycles to consider more buying]...

If, however it truly gets out of hand to a point of creating a fire hazard or impeding the ability to make a reasonably hasty exit; or if they are completely blocking an exit or an electrical panel; or excessively stockpiling recyclables or flammable material; if food has been clearly left out for extended periods, with roaches crawling all over it or worse, and household rubbish is not being reasonably contained, I will give them ONE 30 day period to make dramatic improvement, a second violation would result in non-renewal or termination for cause.

Recycled concrete may be considered green, but only because it reduces the use of new aggregates and reduces demolished concrete's presence in landfills.

That will never happen again as we are at a High in the RE Cycle.
