Investing in Canton Ohio? Good or bad idea?

[Gabriel Brambila]

Hello

I’m looking to buy my first rental, I’m based of out Southern California and I’m looking to invest out of state since houses and just to expensive here. I found an off market duplex in canton Ohio that Is currently rented out. Produced about $1200 a month, tenant are on their first year lease, both units were remodeled within the last 1-4 years. New floors, bathrooms kitchen etc. I do currently manage my parents triplex since they are older now so I have some experience dealing with tenants and screening. Is canton Ohio a good area to invest with rentals in? Property is located in the “Summit” area of town a few blocks away from the presidential McKinley library & Museum. This is an off market deal, I’m looking at around $37k for the duplex. The price sounds great for me coming from California but I don’t know if it’s too expensive for the area? Is Canton ohio a good city to invest with rental? Any feedback would be appreciated.
