Looking to Start Investing in Ohio or PA.
Hi All - I live in New York and looking to start investing in Ohio or PA. Just wondering, what areas are recommended based on experience and any advice that you can offer?
Also, is the only way to invest in other states by hiring a property manager, since its not possible to be there physically?
Thanks!!
Naseema

Quote from @Naseema Subrati:
Thanks for the insight. I have an investment property in Connecticut, since its only 2 hours ways, it's easy to go back and forth when needed.
What areas in Ohio would you recommend looking into?
It does not matter where you start as long as you develop your Core 4. The core 4 is David Greene’s long-distance investing strategy and consists of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender. Once you have this team in place, you should be able to invest in any market confidently.
I buy in Columbus, Ohio but I have clients that buy all over Ohio
