Here's why.People are drawn to our area due to the absence of natural disasters, low property taxes, home prices close to the national median, and a thriving tech and research hub, coupled with the life sciences sector.Considering the ongoing influx of people and the likely rate adjustments announced by the Fed for later in this year, we anticipate prices actually  rising as buyers enter the market.

Hello BP Community,I've been following the social media channels closely and decided to hop on here and say hello 👋🏻I'm Marco, and I'm 29; I was born in Italy, traveled the world with my wife for the last four years, and eventually settled in the Canary Islands for 1.5 years.I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering and have worked in tech for the last five years, which eventually granted me an NIW green card.We (my wife and I) hold a $1.2M+ portfolio of 4 self-managed short-term rental properties (across the Canaries and Italy) and a long-term property in Rome, Italy, that we rent out to students.

I focus on Columbus, Ohio, which has seen significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up operations, driving up property prices and job opportunities.

I had an emergency water heater issue, here how they treated  me1) They have few plumbing companies they deal with who have horrible reviews and you have to go with them and wait for atleast a week before they can approve you.2) Once their tech diagnoses it,  Now AHS says installation is not covered and they want to order a water heater themselves which would take many days.

My tech experience has taught me the power of asking the question: "So What?"

It is the tech hub where house prices are soaring. 1% rule other areas are possible but not in strong appreciating markets.

So with tech today much easier than what they did back then. 

There are buyers at that price point, such as pro sports, doctors, tech, etc.

Columbus has become a major tech hub in the midwest with large companies like Intel investing $20 billion, Amazon investing $3.5 billion, Google building 2 new data centers: one in downtown Columbus and the other in right outside of U.S. 33 in Lancaster.
