Columbus is a strong option where you can find properties with favorable rent-to-price ratios for cash flow, while also benefiting from business expansion and population growth that drive long-term appreciation. 

I’m also starting to wonder if my minimum requirements are too high for this area or if I should stick to them.Here’s what I currently require:Application: Everyone 18 or older must complete an application.Screening: Includes income and rental history verification.Background & Credit Check: Clear background and credit check required ($45 application fee).Income: Monthly income must be at least three times the rent (minimum $4,200 combined).Credit Score: Minimum credit score of 650.Eviction History: No prior evictions allowed.I’m considering adjusting these to a credit score of 600 and income of 2.5 times the rent.

The Midwest is going to benefit, no doubt.

They market as “lock in now at today’s prices and reap the benefits later”  but that is just not the reality.

Whether you sell and simplify or hold and continue to benefit from appreciation, it’s about aligning with your long-term goals and lifestyle.

I am sure many are actually purchasing real estate with these unsecured loans but the investors are not really benefiting from the real estate, they are merely making a fixed return and providing inexpensive equity sources to those who actually own the real estate.
