Hey Fred, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

This is a great opportunity to learn a lot and make mistakes where you wont be sweating bullets. 

I understand that a lot will depend on the specifics.

@Kiernan LaFaver makes a lot of great points. 

If you want more information, p.m. me and I can give you a lot more details.

Looking forward to being a part of this vibrant community.Best,JorgeHi Jorge, I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

Also - we just made a new guide to help people how to use BP for their business, called "Using BiggerPockets to Grow Your Business" - definitely check it out, I think you'll find a lot of value in it.

If you are in a fairly rural area I would imagine there aren't a lot of investors marketing to your area.

@Kent SmithI believe a lot of investors will say "it depends on your strategy" and that is true! 

Lending has become a lot more strict.
