I invest in real estate as a "side-hustle." 

I grew up on the east side of the town with a well versed knowledge of the neighborhood.

Your property management company can help once you own the property but up until then you need someone good on your side!!! 

I wouldn't touch Franklinton with a 10' pole on the existing inventory side. gravity 2 is being auctioned and sold by the developer the area didn't support office developer lost millions:https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2024/12/19/gravity...linden I agree on if you can get a good deal. super fast appreciation. small homes, close to downtown, you can look at year over year and it's going up fast but also fast to change. any urban adjacent neighborhood is going to be good. 

Side note, I listened to your podcast with Ned.

Aslo, he pointed house is 36.2, which will be o.2 ft over the line considered 7ft setback on each side on the 50ft wide lot if relocate the house. 0.2ft will be just setback violation which can be easy resolved with city.

We are only selling completed homes with our own in house financing currently at 3.75%, a huge discount from most bank rates.We are a long time property provider for some of the bigger podcasters: Real Estate Guys Radio, Marco Santorelli (Norada), Kathy Fetke (RWN) Jason Hartman ( Empowerd Investor) GRE (Keith Weinhold), Whitecoat Investor Group and more We also work with American Homes for Rent, Invitation Homes, Crescent, Haven Realty (JP Morgan) to name a few on the institutional side We are partially owned as of 2022 by Sumitomom Forestry, which means we have no bank debt and self fund all our building projects.

I'm glad to help with info, or potential rental estimates for properties you're thinking about on the STR side.

I'm presently a facilities engineer by trade, who does some construction and maintenance for landlords on the side, hoping to get back into the private real estate game.
