Lived in Columbus for 13 years, 600+ transactions, development experience, new builds, 40+ rehabs, DM me if you want to know about the market. 8+ years on the forums advertising and building relationships with investors in almost every state.

I also recommend searching this very forum and you will find hundreds of stories. 

I used Youtube and BP forums for coaching.

@Michael Labudzki welcome to the forums.

there are so many threads on BP from folks in NYC or CA or DC who bought a property in a "low cost" market and immediately regretted it:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1160450-run-i...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/1010977-12-00...i provide this information not to discourage you, but so that you can learn from what they did without making the same mistakes.  

we just see new investors in the forums blown away when they hit their fix big capex - a new roof, a new furnace, a driveway repair, a couple appliances going at once. 

The lack of awareness of the risks is easily observed in posts written every day in these forums. 

Hey @Brittney Yang, welcome to the BP Forum!

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Dave Cali, while tend to agree that office will come back, from a higher level I am not sure how much interest you will be getting from these forums.  

However, the best deals are often off-market, so networking with local commercial brokers and wholesalers in Cleveland is key.For finding investor-friendly agents, check out BP forums, local real estate meetups, or even property management companies, they often know who’s selling.
