Andrew,
Yes i agree everyone has a niche and every city has a good and a bad. I personally am not a huge fan of long distance investing and was just warning him that there are allot of tough areas in toledo. Now just because they are tough does not mean that you cant make money, usually just the opposite. So yes i am wrong for telling him the whole city is a war zone and he is on the right track by asking investors like yourself that are in the area. Do you have a good realtor or property manager that you can refer Gabriel? Long distance investing just doesn't make sense to me, but thats just because i can afford the area i live in, unlike California where i couldn't afford anything either.
