 Have tons of Akron properties. This pricing is what you'll see all over Ohio really. If you are getting a single home in the $150k range it's probably a pretty decent area with a mix of owner occupants and tenants. There are actually a lot of houses in Akron that are even less than $80k, but those are pretty hood.

Just be careful. A lot of properties look very attractive on paper but don't pencil out well in reality. The properties are cheap and rent well, but what is the quality of renter? What are the maintenance costs? I've seen a lot of people walk into "easy" markets in the mid-west only to discover the properties are harder to maintain, tenants are of low quality, they can't find a good property manager, etc.
