As someone who invests out of state myself, having adequate systems in place in terms of team players and experience helped mitigate some of the risk. 

My boss has had me talk to two MAJOR players (one did $100,000,000 in sales in 2005) in the multi-family sector.

My buddy was a super host in Minnesota and he had a very cool modern setup with a classic record player, ping pong table, foosball, lots of board games, movies, a classy bookshelf loaded with books.

These are just a few of the major players in the Columbus market.

I'd love to see it broken down by types of rehabs:- Rental: A, B, C, D market- Flip: A, B, C, D market

Also, be very careful as people describe the neighborhood or asset class as A, B, C , D or F, this is so subjective and there is a lot of dishonesty or miscommunication on this. 

Thus far, BP has a been a wonderful resource of recommendations for these team players and starting blocks in the process. 

It's like your grandpa's CD ladder strategy but with 10-30x returns. 5.

Columbus is also home to The Ohio State University, one of the largest public universities in the country, as well as L Brands, a big player in the retail industry.Ohio is also a landlord-friendly state.

Wholesalers are a key player for the investor.
