Tips on buying a multi-unit in a new state

[Jerome Kucera]

Hello-

I just signed up and I own a 1-br rental in Chicago and Single family rental in Orange County CA. 

I am starting to explore multi-unit apartment properties in a state where I have not invested before (Ohio), however I have family there.   Does anyone have tips/resources on navigating this scenario; finding a good broker, questions to ask, key analysis to run to compare properties and gauging local economic health?

Thx!
