My name is Lisa and I currently reside in Columbus, Ohio.I grew up watching my parents investing in RE and becoming longtime landlords and I witnessed many positive and negative experiences they went through with various tenants.

I am currently working on a few construction projects for new investors, and I don't see how they can get positive cashflow on their investments.OC is a great place to live, but you don't want to strap your cash on an expensive property; and missed out on future properties when the market is more reasonable.Good luck
