I am new to the real estate scene and would greatly appreciate some insight on this. sell it and invest reinvest the same money in a downtown market like Columbus. you can get a 60k plot of land and get rezoning application to put a stacked triplex that we build. let someone help you who's sophisticated. you already have the equity. land isn't worth anything unless you can build it. our product is posted in marketplace 

Thank you.Hey Richard, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

hey Emmanuel, if you are looking into Section 8, I recommend you check the Columbus market.

Question, your dad isn't Dave Murphy from Columbus, IN per chance?

South side born and raised and I really like the area (ie the 6 county cluster south of Marion - Franklin, Columbus, Shelbyville, Mooresville, Bloomington sort of rectangle). 

It's a big step, but it's great that you're willing to put in the work to make it happen.I actually did a bit of house hacking myself back in 2020 here in Columbus, Ohio when I started my real estate journey.

I would also check out Columbus!
