We're closing on our Tx house this week and then decided on a midterm rental in Columbus as it seems its the obvious crowd favorite!

It could still be really profitable, if you're the only game in town and you also can provide food or rent out part of the property for other business purposes, etc.  

Clearly this is a hot topic, but I think the 'feces art gallery' mention has been my favorite part so far...

I just had Stewart title ( my favorite escrow company) do some research on 5 addresses.

Not sure about today but if people are starving which of course with all the food handouts its quite rare from what I see.

Here's some food for thought:- Many of my first time investors know from the jump that they aren't going to be driving 5 hours round trip for every little item, and also know that they arent prepared to handle things like disputes, evictions, lease violations, etc.

Are there favorite areas or neighborhoods you prefer, and why? 

Has a better ring to it.You realize this is the cost for your ticket for the event, your room, all your food and drinks and activities on the resort right?

And while travel is going to be expensive for any property, if you only have one in a market, the concept is the same with less rent: that $2,000 flight/hotel/rental car food for a one night visit, ties up a lot more of your gross when that gross is much lower. 

Food for thought.
