Best area for Section 8 investing (without lead free paint laws) Akron Lorraine?

Hello,

I am looking to purchase section 8 properties in the Ohio area.

Please note I plan to fly out there in the next few weeks several times.

Although I know these properties are in rougher neighborhoods I prefer to purchase in an area that is not a war zone. I am more interested in safer investments even if it means less cash flow.

I am interested in areas with no lead paint so I am thinking either Akron or Lorraine?

I am looking for single family houses for now. Houses that need less than less than $30,000 worth work so not something that is not too old.

I am trying to do the same model as Dr. Joe Asamoah.

The Section 8 BRRRR Strategy That Beats Regular Rentals - YouTube

With the above information being presented is there are certain ZIP Code even better as a way to narrow this down to a certain neighborhoods.

What price point are these houses going for?

I am aware there are good and bad section 8 tenants. I do have a good radar for judging people I worked as a nurse in Prisons including working  Additionally, I self manage a property in Arizona out of state.

I do realize I need to build my team for out-of-state investing but I am not at that point yet first I need to start analyzing the area.

Thank you!!!
