Here are some benefits of investing in Columbus, Ohio, that may make it a wise choice:- Affordability: Property prices in Columbus are notably lower compared to those in LA, which means you can potentially buy more properties or larger ones for the same budget.- Rental Demand: Columbus is a growing city with a steady flow of professionals and students, ensuring a strong and consistent demand for rental properties.- Economic Growth: The city's economy is diverse and steadily growing, providing a stable environment for your investment to thrive.- Investor-Friendly Climate: Columbus has relatively manageable regulations and property taxes, making it attractive for real estate investors.While investing out of state does come with its challenges, such as property management from afar, partnering with a local property management company can help ease these concerns.

I have a line on a deal for a property that I believe is undervalued and has great future potential for improvement.

We do MTRs ourselves in Denver and Colorado Springs and work with a lot of STR investors in the mountains here.Tennessee's got good potential still from what I read, though I know it's been a hotbed for vacation rentals for years now.

Afterall, the midwest states are known for their cashflow but also the potential for slower appreciation.

@Christine ChoYeah I would speak with a plumber on the cost to instal and way it to the potential rent increase.
