Let them know how much you enjoy living in the home and mention that you’re planning to buy your own property in 2025.

Whether it’s developing new housing complexes or refurbishing existing ones for higher-end rentals, the opportunities for capitalizing on this growth are vast.The decision by Anduril Industries to set up shop in Columbus is a game-changer, signaling a major shift in the city's economic landscape that savvy investors should not overlook.

Buy a fourplex so you have a place to live and three rentals to cut your teeth on.

As I studied earlier, the first thing you should do is marketing, then get a call and do a property analysis to understand if it's profitable for you, then meet with the seller and sign all the necessary papers, then if there is a debt in the bank we do a reinstatement quote, then do a title search to check if there are any hidden debts, if everything is fine we look for an investor or flipper and sign an assignment of contract with him and wait for closing to get our money.

This signals long-term appreciation potential.

What ever you're doing to find/buy/create deals is working.

They are really changing the shape of the city and it may become incredibly expensive to buy out there soon due to lack of housing.

Some buy to park money, others do 1031 exchanges or they simply buy them for a tax write-off. 

That being said, I don't have the information I would need to say for certain, but that sounds as if that's a high price for the asset you're considering to buy.
