Columbus has become a major tech hub in the midwest with large companies like Intel investing $20 billion, Amazon investing $3.5 billion, Google building 2 new data centers: one in downtown Columbus and the other in right outside of U.S. 33 in Lancaster.I recommend working with an investor-friendly agent who focuses on cold-outreach methods like cold-calling, cold-texting, etc to bring you off-market deals.

If we can't buy 2nds, we just buy more low balance 1sts.There are data service providers, such as DistressedPro.com that can give you some more color on what product is currently in the marketplace (and who owns it).Best,Dave

@Bracken Bjorn The answer is in the local data...and the data might look differently to you than someone else...it's really about your goals, tolerance for risk, available resources, and personal preference...

@Hamed RahimiThere are no mapping programs to transfer data.

So much so, that according to AirDNA data there are 4000+ properties on airbnb / vrbo in this destination, though the property that I am evaluating has been used as a primary residence and has no rental history.

If you don't live there this is important for everyone and good investment if you ask me.I have to think a court would listen to some reason over the data.

Below is the factual data.Rental Inventory & Median Rental Prices (The data is for Ft Myers and Cape Coral)As stated in previous updates throughout the year, we were expecting an increase in inventory and a decrease in rental pricing.

Also, never listen to the sales people on their saving projection, I've yet see someone who does a good job of data analytics to truly project it correctly.

I'm biased and can provide reasons and data to show that using an agent will protect you, get you more money, less stress and so on.The reality is you can do it yourself, but tenants generally don't cooperate with showings and that causes lots of problems for buyer to access the unit to show, inspections, appraisals etc.

Realtor.com has a lot of data on rent cost and housing prices. - What driving factors should I take into account when l'm looking for an up n' coming hot markets?
