Newark, OH - Rentals

[Weston Hunter]

Hello,

I've been listening to podcast/reading all about rental properties and I think the time has come to give it a go. I live East of Columbus, OH and have been looking for single family or small duplexes in the area. Columbus market is a little out of my price range, but I was thinking about investing in the Newark, OH area. 

I was wondering if anyone had any information, they could share about their experience in the past year or two. It seems all the post I have read on here are older and I'm not sure if conditions are still the same. Are rentals a good idea in this area? There is a lot of business being built and I feel as if it will drive people out East. Any information that could be passed along would be greatly appreciated!
