What do you think about investing in Akron?

Hi all, I’m  a newbie investor and looking into my first real estate opportunity.

I came across Akron, does anyone have any insights on the market there? any tips / alternatives? 

Thanks!

Hey Alon, this will generally depend on what you're after. While Akron offers affordability, Cleveland emerges as a better bet for steady rental income due to high renter occupancy. On the other hand, Columbus might be ideal for long-term appreciation due to population growth and a strong economy.
