I'll just say that the "churn" and turnover on properties in those sorts of areas is so high because investors get a gutful and want out.

It's churning the portfolio and its frowned upon.

Successfully building a portfolio with the BRRRR strategy can be a balancing act, but allowing the investment property to churn over time will usually provide great returns if you hold the property for at least 5+ years.

investors tend to churn properties in search of "deals", and if you're looking to cash out in less than 5 years, I would not suggest buying in Columbus right now.

Taking control of my investment/ re-balancing/ diversifying has been my primary focus now, after churning through Morgan Stanley and Fidelity financial advisory services the past few years and couldn't even beat inflation when relying on others to manage...

Like any business, this is a numbers game.. for every X # of responses, you will get a certain % of "takers" and, after that, you may have a certain # of transactions that will not go through for various reasons-- so keep churning, and don't waste your time with 'paralysis of analysis"; when you get a preliminary agreement in place and your funder begins the due diligence (pre-purchase) process, THAT is when you start following more closely-- and for the transactions that ultimately close, you get a nice check AND you're getting a million dollar education for free.Keep things simple, just keep doing this over and over, and when you've referred at least a handful of notes that close, you've then built up a file and you're going to start to recognize most, if not all of the steps involved so that you can begin to invest in notes for your own account.

I just sold off a piece of my business and it’s time to diversify into real estate while continuing to run my remaining business and churn out more cash.

When it comes to SFR the reasons people sell is prohibitive to list and that creates far more, and more frequent churn. 

It's not worth the couple thousand $$$ per year and hassle.I tell folks that to really make any money worth talking about in land lording, you probably need to get above 10 units and they need to churn out at least $2000 / month profit. 

So I'd focus on finding a person you can trust and partner with and try to churn that cash over and over to make it grow.
