It’s just 7 miles from the beach, 2 miles from a large new hospital and medical campus, and within 2 miles of the county government offices.

With strong demand and guaranteed, government-backed rent, Columbus is an excellent choice for investors seeking reliable cash flow.

They also have the ports (or in the case of D.C. the government) which means they will continue to be very important economically for a long time.I invest in Rochester, NY because I happen to live there, but when Kodak went "under" and Xerox moved there was no appreciation for almost 20 years.

I work for General Dynamics Electric Boat which has decades long contracts with the US government and the turnover rate is relatively high in the company so my thoughts are if I could choose a place that is within commute distance there and within the price range of the average employee that maybe that could be a great idea but I want to know if people think that is too much of an assumption and risk to make?

My priorities are cash flow and tax benefits, and I’m looking at purchasing a 2/2 that fits up to 10 and is along a body of water.
