@Josh CullenI have been a member of both but I am currently only a member of queen city reia as it is the only one that is part of national reia and I like the benefits offered with the membership.

Does anyone know where to obtain a list of cities, say all the ones listed in the National Apartment Research Report by Berkadia (https://www.berkadia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Berkadia-2019-National-Apartment-Forecast.pdf), that shows the 2018 increase over 2017, and 2019 projected median home sales price increase?

However, under the rules of the National Association of Realtors, as well as the rules in many states, when a BROKER represents both buyer and seller, he is acting as an intermediary, and has to have the express written permission of both parties.

This includes foreign nationals, regardless of residency or citizenship. 

The crime index is two and a half times the national average...Franklinton has 9 block groups...SFR's are selling for $15.90 sq. ft. and mutifamilies are selling for $13,583 per unit in some areas.These are not good metric on any level...Columbus is a fascinating city...the transition has been fun to watch.

With a national firm you'll be in good hands overall but the quality of your personal experience will be limited to the quality of sales rep assigned to you and your access to actual consultants who can answer avoid  and anticipate all the crazy situations that can arise.

@John WrightYes multi families is what I’m looking for, but unfortunately because I am National Guard I have to wait till the end of my contract in 2023 to use the VA loan!

Background is in dealership management, nationally recognized, so I'm great at closing/negotiating, numbers, and navigating a deal, and I'm naturally more transactional inclined. 

I would suggest checking out all the local live events and planning your visit to look at properties around several of the local groups so you can attend and connect.In July - Mid-America Association of Real Estate Investors, the local Chapter of National REIA will be hosting a Vendor Trade Show, open to the general public as all meetings are, but this is our annual networking night with no speakers.
