Columbus can be popular with events like OSU football games, Crew games, BlueJacket games, and other conventions when they come to Columbus annually. 

These types of lenders often have more flexible criteria and can help with refi for rental properties without all the strict conventional guidelines.

Appreciation is likely on the low side for the coming years (with a massive inventory shortage across the nation). 

the majority of our off market inventory is within 3 months of being completed and we provide special incentives like investor pricing, rate buy downs, and property management discounts.Feel free to contact me directly if you want to talk about strategy or markets in Florida Best of luck

Plus, equipment can be a hefty expense and may need repairs over time.Instead of a conventional treadmill, I would consider a walking pad paired with a height-adjustable desk-- its cheaper and can be hidden/discreetly tucked away.

Strong demand and limited inventory are driving prices up.
