Columbus, Ohio is still a great option for real estate investing, offering both cash flow and growth potential. 

The truth is you do have to analyze a lot of deals (kiss a lot of "frogs") to make offers on just a few.

Maybe you got your answer somewhere else, but in case not I'll offer my opinion.  

There're such videos on YouTube and other platforms.Unfortunately we cannot direct people there because BiggerPockets would consider it self-promotion and penalize us for trying to share this knowledge.Would you by chance offer such things Michael? 

I have met tenants and chatted with them in parking lots before making an offer as well as during due diligence periods, even inspections.

Not conformed by the situation I contacted several Insurance brokers and one came back telling me that we can do a "split policy" one that covers the wind mitigation insurances, and another one that offers liability and all the other coverages...

In order for me to move back, you would have to a) lower the COL so that I could really make money, and b) turn the state Red again.....both of which are unlikely, but I appreciate the offer!

Consider bringing in a new partner to help with funding, and offer them a guaranteed return or a percent ownership

I also appreciate you offering to share your contacts, I'll reach out and dm you!

I have submitted a counter offer and hoping for a slightly lower price but in this same market it's hard to find anything.
