Ohio Investor (Cleveland/Columbus)

[Jim Bern]

Hello,

I am a new investor on the BP forums, and honestly very happy because through the forums and information provided I have been able to learn a lot.

I just started to look at properties to start investing in real estate these past few days. I live in an NYC borough which is a pricey market. A bit more expensive than what I'd like my first investment to be (around 60k-100k). I worked in Cleveland three years ago and the Midwest, where starter homes are more within my desired price range and provide cashflow.But I am open to other markets in Ohio or Indiana.

My question is for those who started investing in real estate, did you stay local?, And what advice can you recommend to new investor like myself in terms of investing out of state. Thank you
