I enjoy helping people with their personal and professional growth and there's no fee.

If you become successful in your investing activity, a healthy relationship with a lending institution which operates within your sphere of activity is crucial for future growth. 

Thank for the feedback Tatyana, and James he still a growing utuber with some prospect for future growth.

It's important to stay laser focused on the tasks at hand and on the things that you can control.

The prices look pretty good from afar, and the other demographics look pretty solid (job growth, population growth, crime decrease, etc) Is anyone out there buying and holding in Columbus??

@Jake Barney — you’re suffering the same problem that a lot of people experience in expensive or overpriced markets.The problem is that rents have not kept up with price growth.

When analyzing a deal to buy as a rental, the main question to ask yourself, are you looking for long-term equity growth or month-to-month cash flow. 

You want growth and people moving there.

Alternatively, the cities that seem OK from a pricepoint have some discouraging growth metrics, so I'm not quite sure where to look.

This works well for investors looking for growth because of the high IRR, and they aren’t too bothered by the low cash-on-cash.After the property is fixed up and the income is pushed, the sponsor sells, and everyone gets paid.
