There's so many catalysts for population and job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide Hospital, etc).

Of course not.If you consider the fact that if you have no money, you would be better off going to McDonald's, getting a job, working for 4 months saving up a decent marketing budget, and THEN attempting wholesaling, your chances of success FAR supersede the chances of doing what is cheap (but with a terrible success rate).People, understand this.You do not seek success based on what you have.You need to figure out WHAT YOU NEED to become successful and get it.

Also depends on what other investment opportunities you have to just invest the money you're getting.There's an argument to have some houses free and clear and a few with high leverage... safer. 

However, it does offer some of the same amenities and investment opportunities that older investment generations experienced in Coastal California throughout the previous decade. 

Columbus is the only Ohio market that has seen rapid growth in jobs and population.

I have been working on getting into the data analyst field for a W2 job for a few month now and have partially finished my first project.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with zero or negative relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560, little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

They could do a better job matching same size, age, beds, <6 mo sales in the comp tool but at least it gives a list of area sales too plus last MLS listing's pictures (valuable).As far as pulling lists, yes PS has the most data types (liens, mortgage amount, equity) vs anyone else but its an ugly trueth in the data market place. 

Nice job!!

Forums are great, but you'll also benefit from local meetup groups and other networking opportunities.
