Investing in Columbus,Ohio

Hi Everyone,

My name is Omer Zakai, from NYC and I am new to real estate investing. I did my research and decided to invest in Columbus, Ohio. 

My plan is to start out by purchasing SFHs, in a C class (and above) areas with a budget of $100-120K (All in).

Can anyone provide some tips for me?

Any special or unusual RE rules that I should be aware of?

What are the best neighborhoods to invest in for buy&hold?

What are the worst (high crime areas)that I should stay away from?

I would love to connect with agents, Mortgage brokers, and wholesalers that work with investors.

Thank you for your help.

Omer

 I'm glad your research lead you to Columbus, OH I think the North Linden area would be a good idea for you.  Here is an analysis I did on it: https://www.biggerpockets.com/...
