[Trina Butler]

Hello BP, I am new to investing, I live in Akron, Ohio I'm looking for feed back on what type of housing are considered if you were a cash buyer, or real estate investor for rentals, fix flip, or sale, what areas would be a good choice if you had to pick?  It doesn't matter if your from the area or out of town.
