I also think Australia is a great place to invest in real estate, but it's harder to find resources, deals, financing options and so on. 

Are there any good resources online to be able to get an idea of average monthly/yearly expenses like utilities, etc. for a given zip or city?

@Elvon BowmanFrom my experience, aiming for larger properties (100-200+ units) on your first deal isn’t too ambitious if you have a solid team and resources in place.

Happy to send over some resources regarding the Columbus Ohio market and why it's a great market to invest into!

I’m looking to connect with:Partners who can bring resources or experience to the table while I handle the heavy lifting of deal-finding, analysis, and management.Investors interested in deals with clear strategies and long-term potential.While I’d prefer to build a portfolio for the long haul, I understand the market always has buyers.

I love that the BP community is so open to giving advice and resources.  

And this leaves you with some interesting options because you can allocate your proceeds any way you want.
