Columbus in particular has been a strong market for both approaches, with solid fundamentals for long-term appreciation and cash flow.

We see it all the time with the conversations on what cars/vehicles folks drive :) here in BP there is a badge of honor to drive a 20 year old 250k mile car/truck :) Myself I saw my dad do some of this although he never got to the utra wealthy stage by a long shot but made good money in RE however it was not until he bought old style timeshare in Maui that he would finally take a vacation..

Specifically, Sections 4735.18(A)(24), 4735.18(A)(27) and 4735.18(A)(30) require a host of recordkeeping, reporting, and trust and security obligations, all of which we have reason to believe have been neglected by Jeff Swiecicki in connection with the Property Management Agreements.My attorney is still in communication with Jeff Swiecicki and we intend to litigate if he fails to return funds immediately.Based on these factual events and Jeff Swiecicki’s continued unprofessional and deceptive behavior, it is my strong recommendation to avoid doing business with him or any business associated with him.

You can earn strong appreciation but also lose a lot as the entire state becomes increasingly hostile to landlords.

If you're looking for strong appreciation, Dallas and Houston are great markets.

If you feel like you’re managing your property manager, it’s a strong sign that the manager may not be the right fit.

But I would strongly advise, never letting somebody else do your due diligence on an investment for you. 

You can certainly find a property for cash flow that may also bring you a strong return on that investment.

Build a strong team, prioritize cash flow, and take the time to understand the local market and regulations, especially for development projects.
