I am a big fan of the Columbus market and see great potential for continued growth.

As such, you do not have potential losers drawing on your return.

However, with real estate@Ethan HenningI agree, there are still plenty of areas downtown that have great potential. 

Im looking for a potential property manager for 20+ units just outside city limits of Des Moines, Iowa.

This sounds easy and innocent enough but be careful because if this goes bad you can be in trouble because a judge could potentially see this held back as a lease option fee or owner financing down payment if he gets a smart lawyer .

I'm looking for a lender, an agent and potential property manager referrals....

Personally I would never consider anything less than $300 / month unless there was huge upside potential.

One of my concern is the fact that he is sometimes irresponsible and may potentially waste the money you give him. 

Would love to potentially find a lender who is savvy in this exact situation.

What to look out for in determining potential neighborhoods (I am not local to the area and is curious on how "hot" neighborhoods started out and what signs to look out for)How bad can a bad investment be?
