Columbus is an absolute goldmine right now - it's got robust job growth, a booming tech and university scene, and consistent strong rental demand. 

Increase supply (or at least encourage development), and the prices will eventually come down (as we've seen in other large cities like Austin where the demand boom was followed by a supply boom - and now both sale prices and rents have gone down). 

Boom multiple income streams. 

So lots were trading at 500. to maybe 3k in the day.. then they shoot up to 10k and when there is a boom they will shoot up to 30 to 40k only to drop back down to 10k I have watched those prices all these years..

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: Boom.

Here's a little bit of history:                                                                                    In the first half of the 20th Century Waco was a booming city on it's way to be just as large of a city as Austin or even Dallas, but in 1957 a catastrophic tornado hit Waco, destroying it's entire downtown area.

We have record employment, all of our retail is booming, housing is still selling.

Although finding cash-flowing properties within Austin city limits can be challenging, the outskirts, where growth is booming, offer excellent prospects for both equity and cash flow.

By August 2023, I packed up my introverted self, moved to paradise, and two months later—BOOM—homeowner status unlocked.

I definitely don't think that this is the case of an emerging city that will experience a boom in a near future, but who knows. 2.
