In addition to the income, the property appreciates (assuming you buy somewhere that has population/job growth), your taxes are lowered substantially, and your tenants pay down your mortgage which adds to your net worth in the form of equity each month.

The neighboring towns populations of over 100,000.

Keep in mind Columbus is a big market as we just passed the population of San Francisco! 

It populated a state specific lease, check in list and payment schedule.

Definitely lower than normal Orlando rent rates, but it is also densely populated so tenant pool should be above average.

Move to an area that is having population and job growth and their economy is diverse.

I want control and own tangible assets that will always have a demand as long as there’s not a major population decrease.

What has been your experiences in small towns <5000 population in the Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska areas.
