I live and invest in Columbus, OH, after moving here from Florida. 

The majority of local banks we talk to for Columbus OH wouldn't even fund a deal for an out of state investor (credit unions, etc).

wherever you are looking for land I'd argue it's a bad strategy unless you are buying for pennies on the dollar. where I'm at in columbus ohio there is a 12 months supply of land on the market so it's a buyer's market. unless the market is a seller's market which can be established with a real estate agent (less than 6 months supply on the market, and really I'd say 3 months), then I'd avoid this strategy 

think bigger. we build a triplex that's very popular in columbus. for house hacking unless you want to live with your tenants or rent bedrooms out push the dwelling units up and run the numbers. as long as you can qualify for it 

I'd suggest investing in a market with strong job growth and expanding economic base, like Columbus, Ohio.

The views and opinions of all of the future Uber drivers from Columbus do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of the few skilled Real Estate Brokers in Ohio.

I'm from Pensacola and moved to Columbus, OH, to invest. 

I reach out to my rep Friday morning, but don't get a response until Monday (which was Columbus day) so not much to report.

I started off with a few house hacks before I did a BRRRR here in Columbus, Ohio

Hey Tanner, Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're leaning towards appreciation and want to go the OOS route.
