Hey Titus, totally can relate with you being from an expensive real estate market - 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.

Only complaint others have about investing here is the property taxes.

Here's a more professional version of your message:---Hello,I already own two bed and breakfasts, which I have been managing for several years.
