It’s been nearly a year since the last time I posted one of these updates, and with the Lincoln Theatre recently opening and Whitney Condos about to begin construction, I figured it was probably a good time to remind people about some of the investment opportunities over here in my neck of the woods. For [...]

Urban Homeowners: Interested in Showing Off?
From a post on ColumbusUnderground.com located here: Hello Undergrounders… I work for Central Community House, an innercity nonprofit community center that serves the near east side.

Owning a home in Columbus
Great Dispatch article on Thursday mentions that Columbus is the best metropolitan city in the US when it comes to the cost of rent compared to the cost of home ownership. That’s all. Just wanted to mention it.
Who wants to be our neighbor? #9
Yet another installment of great homes for sale over here in our new neighborhood. Most of these are foreclosures that seemed to have just popped up in the last few weeks. It looks like some of them need a little TLC and others need a lot of TLC. All of them are great deals though [...]

Who wants to be our neighbor? #7
I posted about this place below a few months ago… but there’s been an update: The price has dropped from $125,000 to $99,900. This is a 3,200 sqft 6-bedroom brick mansion. The description says it needs some rehab, but the photos don’t look too bad. Really, even if you had to spend another $100,000 on [...]
