Expanding to Akron, looking for advice

[Nathan Harden]

What up BP?!

I currently live in WA state and invest out of state for buy and holds. I own properties in Canton right now but I want to expand north up to the Akron market. I have done my research but at the end of the day, I am looking for what locals are seeing with their own eyes happening to the Akron market. Which neighborhoods should I not touch and which ones are ripe for the picking? I am familiar with Firestone park, Goodyear Heights, Fairlawn as pretty solid areas. I have been sent countless deals from wholesalers in Kenmore, West Akron/Highland square but it seems like at least Kenmore is hit or miss. I have read all of the "trends" and statistics but now I am Looking for feedback on personal experience in the Akron market.

I appreciate it!
