Invest in Columbus real estate
From your first rental to a growing portfolio, with an agent who has been doing it herself since 2005.
I don't just sell properties. I help investors build wealth.
For more than twenty years I've bought, renovated and managed single-family and multi-family rentals in Columbus, and I run that portfolio with virtual assistants and automation. When you invest with me, you're working with someone who has dealt with vacancies, turnovers and contractors herself.

Does the deal cash flow?
A quick first look at a rental. Change the numbers to see monthly cash flow, cap rate and cash-on-cash return.

Estimate only. Cash to close assumes about 3% in closing costs and leaves out rehab. Use real rent comps, tax records and insurance quotes before you make an offer. This is not financial advice.

Common questions
Why invest in Columbus?
Central Ohio has a diverse economy anchored by government, education, healthcare and a growing tech and manufacturing base, and prices are still more approachable than in many large metros. Returns vary by neighborhood and property, so every deal needs its own analysis.
Can I buy a rental without living in Ohio?
Yes. Many of my investor clients live out of state. I coordinate tours, inspections and contractors, and introduce you to property managers so you can own here without being here.
What's a good cash-on-cash return?
It depends on your goals and how much risk you're comfortable with. Some investors trade cash flow for appreciation in stronger neighborhoods. We'll set targets together before we look at properties.
Do you help with 1031 exchanges?
I work alongside your qualified intermediary and tax advisor to find and close replacement properties within the exchange deadlines.
