Columbus has seen significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google establishing operations and driving up property values and job opportunities.I can send you a list of contacts in Ohio to help you build your team and find a property manager.

I recommend looking into Columbus OH - lots of population growth, job growth, and major companies building out here like Intel, Meta, Google, Amazon, etc.

You can probably find most of the books online like Amazon or someplace local like 1/2 priced books. 

There are multiple billion dollar companies dumping money into the city, such as Intel, Google, Honda, and Amazon.

The most recent estimates I have received was for $110K for a studio conversion of an existing space and $180K for a 3/1 conversion of an existing space.

Enhancing the property can increase rental income and property value.Smaller Units: Consider investing in properties with smaller units, such as studios or one-bedroom apartments, which often have higher rental demand and lower per-unit costs.

There's so many catalysts for population and job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide Hospital, etc).

It’s experienced significant growth, particularly with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google establishing operations, which has driven up property values and created new job opportunities.

I chose Columbus because of the massive growth in population and the job market along with companies choosing to move and develop here like Intel, Meta, Honda, Amazon, etc.

My strategy is just to slowly improve the property as I can, subdivide two of the apartments into studios for LTR or STR/Air BnBs, and either live with the improved cash flow or flip it once I get the property in better shape.
