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

I am with Ion Real Estate and have been energized by the support and innovation that our team provides.

You have to keep moving, switching, shifting, reacting, thinking outside of the box, innovating, etc.Through my more than 14 years in my business I found that some people did not need a listing agent and shouldn't pay for one so we created a flat fee service as well (not the bulk of our income by far) to service that small portion of the market.

When I see that stuff I always wonder what will be the catalyst that will push things forward, or will it continue to sit stagnant.  

I'm still not sure as I haven't even been to inspect the properties yet, but the military is moving us there in Nov (I'm going next month).There are two Quads I'm eyeing near The Arts District.

Far be it from me to give an innovator and genius like Elon Musk business advice, but we're talking about Tesla in terms of the post I was originally responding to.

Most probates don't have sufficient catalysts to trigger a motivated sale.

I'd add innovation and entrepreneurship.

Here are my questions:1)Which of these 3 cities will cash flow the best relative to Purchase price of property2)I was told that neighborhood quality in Cincinnati changes block by block which will require more local knowledge than I have...which of these cities has the best broad range/spread of quality neighborhoods (interested in B and C type properties)3)If you know good Realtors in these cities who are OOS investor friendly, please provide info4)If you know good Property Managers, please provide infoHi Toks, I personally love Columbus Ohio and as someone who works with a lot of out of state investors - there's so many catalysts for why you should invest here.

Communication has been outstanding since I started dealing with them in Nov. and work as of now has been good as well.
