Happy to connect and share some insights into Ohio. 

How does this work?

- How should I start with this?

I feel like a lot of the BP podcast episodes talk about investing in the general US market, but never really touch on HCOL areas.

I’m not very familiar with the local market and would love any insights on promising neighborhoods for living and investing.I successfully acquired both of my current properties off-market without the help of realtors, but I'm feeling a bit stuck on how to navigate the Ocean County market.

Second, go to as many local meetups as you can find.

Yes, I'm using this! 

In this market the rent:price is usually around 0.5%, pretty terrible.

The chimney is barely holding on and the mortar is missing in some areas.
