Downtown is making a huge comeback, attracting lots of new businesses and generally going through a revitalization.

are your getting traveling nurses, business professionals, displaced families, insurance claims etc?

I personally am using the "value add" strategy to get my rentals to cash flow. 

Zelle has its uses, I just don't think its a good option for running a rental business. 

Lots of new businesses moving in to Columbus.

My suggestion is that, if you are willing to move around the area then maybe you should consider the strategy that my wife and I are currently implementing. 

The owner paid $150k in 2003 and was an operating business.

If they pay late, but always pay the late fees, they are usually OK to hold onto until their lease expires, then get rid of them.Your life will be better if you run like a business instead of a charity.

I marketed this property as a business - as it brought in 155K in gross revenues , could go to 180K with some extra work.I see many people who got into the airbnb game 3 years ago trying to unload now, almost at cost.

There are so many experts on here it is tough to stand out, but picking say multifamily or 1031 specifically will help drive a ton of business.
