Cash is King and always will be.

I know people killing it in Dayton but I'd recommend looking at other strategies like buying land and building single and multifamily in columbus. you can get lots right now for 30k or 40k within 1 mile of downtown in Franklinton, king Lincoln, olde towne east, southern orchards. land is a buyer's market and low competition.

Bigger Pockets led us to Realtor Cory King.

I suppose I can expect some level of appreciation considering the housing market in Columbus and the areas that I am looking at (Franklinton, King-Lincoln Bronzeville, Marion Village, etc.), but I can't really put a hard number on that.

@Brian King following.

ZERO risk to investor and all was already covered during our 60min call).9) Investor never sends the deposit.10) Investor doesn't reply to follow up emails, txt's or phone calls.11) Investor rudely tells my assistant to remove him from the list and hangs up on her.There you have it folks.Another day in the office and again just one instance out of hundreds that I could write 13 books on what we have experienced since 2014.I guess the lesson is that we all need to be "Kings that cry poor".It seems like nobody is happy, if you're happy and nobody wants you to do well and make money.Everyone seems to want the best deal possible for the lowest price possible even if that comes at the detriment to someone else.I'm exaggerating but from a philosophical standpoint, human nature is to feel "more accomplished" and "more satisfied" when knowing someone else pulled out the shorter straw.It took me many years of self reflection to master this internal concept of "understanding, empathy and compassion" toward others...Would love your thoughts on the above?

From the 60s until now Romex Non Metalic (NM) wiring has been king.
