Columbus, Ohio, could be a great market to consider if you're leaning towards appreciation.

I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio. 

I feel like my thoughts are scattered and need to speak to someone that can lead me in the right direction.Thank you for your time Arianna  I'm in between miami and Columbus Ohio and what you said is true.

we just bought an underpriced piece of land that was unentitled and had high upside in Franklinton in Columbus Ohio. a non profit owned a plot 4x the size an Called us only after our project was announced and asked If we'd buy their site. we gave them 4 different ways they could work with us and their realtor wasn't experienced enough and neither was their director of finance. the bought it to put a food pantry and couldn't because they can't develop. it's a mistake on their part to purchase land like this. their funds should have been used for other reasons.
