In the boom it was hot for investors but no one had figured out that there wasn't that much interest from home buyers.

@Tonye JackIt will be very difficult to find cash flow In columbus but the property will appreciate very quickly.I bought a condo three years ago outside dublin, lost cash flow every year ~1000 but it's up 30% in 2.5 years and it's been good for tax purposes.Columbus is more educated than average, more renters than average, and is growing quickly.The city is mostly new though as it's boomed in the last 20 years.Cleveland is an older city with allot more multi-family houses, higher maintenance costs due to the age but you can definitely find good cash flow off the MLS with pretty average property appreciation.

This was during the real estate boom of 2002-2007.  

What I mean by this is many places have vintage start dates for leases during the boom times 2005,2006,2007.The tenants have just been paying it.When the lease comes up the new market rate might have dropped 25% from what is being collected now on the current lease.

But owning 37 units in central Florida I can tell you that the rental business is booming!  

Companies like Toyota, Boom Air have already started operations.

No market is perfect and I can't tell anyone if the market will continue to boom or bust.

It's a booming market, with plenty of opportunities to get the most out of your money.

Can't speak to Atlanta but Charlotte is booming right now.

It is still one of the fastest income growth metros in the US (2019 to 2020 saw over 10% income growth).With an Expanding UC Campus and More Jobs, Merced Is Booming.
