This property will require a pool to fully optimize its earning potential, and I've already factored that into my calculations.

And while short-term rentals are the big draw here, there’s also growing demand for mid-term rentals from snowbirds and traveling professionals, as well as long-term housing for the increasing number of permanent residents.Yes, higher interest rates are a factor, but the strong rental demand in the Panhandle often helps offset those costs.

When it comes to analyzing properties, I’ve developed a specific checklist to make sure the home fits both resident needs and operational goals:Square Footage: Ideally, at least 2,000 sq. ft. to ensure enough living space for residents and staff.No Stairs or Pools: It reduces liability and keeps the home accessible for everyone (this is just my preference).Corner Lots: I love corner lots because they often provide extra parking and outdoor space—both of which are critical for families and visitors.

Are there any key factors or metrics you look for when analyzing a neighborhood's potential?

Columbus also has great macroeconomics - lots of job growth, population growth, and major employers developing here.

I recently started a small scale real estate development company here in Pittsburgh, HeyDay Development.
