@Chelsey Coleman My husband and I have a guest room that we mostly rent mid term to visiting scholars, interns and students.

Today's update is to let you know that it has not stabilized and is continuing to decline.At Bartomeo Property Management we track several key metrics to not only assess the market but to help us understand our internal operations.

The extremely wealthy and the international wealth is still here bidding.

Pull credit, judgment, and criminal reports.

Back in the 1970s when I first entered the real estate profession (my fellow bankers were shocked that I left international banking to work as a COMMISSIONED commercial real estate salesperson!)

Same reason people ask criminal record. 

For example, I mention that every adult must pay a $30 application fee, pass my credit/criminal background, make a combined income of 3x the rent, and whether or not the property accepts pets.

posters, but what you really need is a spring of internal confidence that continues with you on the journey.

In my area, they have recently made it a violation to turn down an applicant for having a criminal record. 

Columbus is also home to OSU, which constantly develops real estate, employs lots of jobs, and attracts students from the US and internationally to attend.
