Recommendation Requests for OH, NC, & SC - Newbie Here :) Thank You!

[Jorge Martinez]

Hello everyone, I am new to real estate, but it seems fun to invest in it. I would like to try it out. I have decided to invest into one of the three following cities: Columbus, OH | Raleigh, NC | Charleston, SC.

I plan to do out-of-state investing and the mid-term strategy. Preferably, a multi-family home, but not entirely opposed to single family. In the long run, I would like to own various properties.

If anyone is willing to provide any or all recommendations for below for any of the cities I mentioned, that would be greatly appreciated. A recommendation means a lot to me.
