New Section 8 Investor in Ohio

[Matin Tabibian]

Hey Everyone,

I'm a new out-of-state investor steps away from purchasing my first investment property in Akron, Ohio to be rented on Section 8. I already have a pre-approval letter and now looking for a great agent, property manager, contractor, and friend/mentor. Any advice or recommendation would be absolutely appreciated!

Best,
Matin

If you are looking at Northeast Ohio in Akron I would check out Cleveland as well. In Cleveland, I would recommend being in areas on the West Side of Cleveland like West Blvd, Cudell, Old Brooklyn, Clark Fulton, Edgewater, Jefferson, and Brooklyn Centre. The reason is the rent-to-price ratio is good so you can cash flow, and most of the West side doesn’t have a Point of sale inspection which is really annoying.
