Hi Bigger Pockets Forums, I've been saving up money from my full time job to invest in real estate.

It's been a real pain not to be able to speak to an actual person when I am sending thousands of dollars at a time. 

I have been trying to use Melio Payments (recommended by Fund N Grow) to use my AMEX credit cards to pay for real estate purchases.

I am a high salary earner. I make roughly $1.5 million a year. Over the past year and a half, I invested in fuor rental investment properties with the mortgage rates of 6.3-6.8 for each of the property over 30 years...

Intel is a great example, who is building the largest chip manufacturing plant in the US right here, and it will be a $20 billion dollar investment that brings a few new thousand jobs.https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2022/01/21/intel-ohio-building-computer-chip-factories-licking-county-jersey-township/9173472002/ Another example of economic growth is the upcoming Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Inpatient Hospital which is a 1.9million square foot hospital that will bring over 800 new beds and a thousand new jobs. https://abc6onyourside.com/news/local/new-osu-hospital-expected-to-transform-health-careHere are a few more recent investments https://www.10tv.com/article/money/business/hydrogen-power-company-hyperion-bringing-700-jobs-to-columbus/530-25907aab-5517-4661-a9f3-d2ed2d5be6b0 https://news.wosu.org/news/2022-02-08/rumpke-to-build-50-million-recycling-facility-in-columbus Check out The Complete Guide to the Columbus, Ohio Real Estate Market which goes through the Columbus, Ohio market in depth and will give you a better scope of where the highest levels of growth are taking place and where to look to invest.  

Purchase price: $199,900 My first real estate purchase, which I converted into a short-term rental, I rented for half the year when I was away.

This shift in priorities not only influences real estate markets but also encourages communities to adopt more sustainable practices and resilience measures to attract and retain residents.

I specialize in both residential and multi-family real estate in the Columbus market.

The dangers are local laws and regulations, and running a good, tight ship so that your neighbors are happy.

I'm particularly passionate about home flips and trying to acquire some rentalsOutside of real estate, I enjoy working out, construction, and spending time with familyExcited to learn and connect with you all!
