As for Columbus OH being a cash-flow area, maybe, i don't know another market to compare it to other than Cleveland which is a whole 'nother beast, Columbus might not be the cash cow the internet purports, I think there's tons of potential it might be hard to find deals if you're operating out of state though. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/business/2...I work for a developer in the area and we are switching from building apartments to homes/developments.

FYI, be wary of advice from anyone who isn't licensed to practice law and who purports to give advice on the proper and legal handling of contracts, and who is ready to tell you what a party will/will not do as if it is written in stone.Nothing is more dangerous than someone who thinks that they know what they are talking about.All the best!

The Term "war zone" appears to define the person using the term more accurately than the community it purports to characterize.
