Chiming in to say that we charge 15% here in Columbus, OH as well. 

I am an out of state investor looking to invest in/around Columbus, OH area.

Aside from Columbus, most of them are not appreciating.

When I sat down, Erik was telling the story of how he had built a self storage facility from the ground up in 2006 and then shortly after took his entire family of seven on a three-year sailboat adventure throughout the Mediterranean, they had their sixth child while on the trip, and finished off by crossing the Atlantic on the same route that Columbus took.

Hi Evan,What I have done with my properties in Columbus was I reached out to 10 different contractors asked for pictures of the jobs they have done as well as pricing for each item.

I ultimately settled on Columbus, OH as my target market because there was positive cashflow from day one, cheaper entry points and landlord friendly laws that won't handcuff both hands and 9 toes behind your back. 

It's in a submarket of Columbus Ohio called Buckeye Lake.

I will try to find a few deals and use leverage.Now to determine the WHERE :)Columbus, Oh has been a great market for me with both appreciation over the years and positive cashflow from day one. 

Charleston, Columbus, Richmond, Denver and many others where strong as well, adding a few % in rent growth, albeit with about half the new supply (JBRE).

Yes Columbus OH and the 4 major city markets in florida for land development.
