Hello hope you are all doing well, after much research I am going to be flying out to Ohio next weekend to look at rental properties. I live in Southern California and am new to investing in RE. After speaking to other investors I realize that having a reliable Property management and contractor is essential for success. Would anyone have any recommendations on any PM and contractors in the Ohio area Or any tips on how to vet them? Thank you for any help! 

Hi I am a new investor from souther California. I am looking to invest in a out of state market as southern california is very competetive with high property cost. Do you think its a smart idea to buy my first rental property out of state? 

I am a lawyer from Souther California and new to investing in real estate, I am looking to gain some experience and further my knowledge. I am going to be flying out to Ohio in a few weeks to look at some properties in the city of Akron. I am looking in Akron mainly for two reasons. The first being it would cost me a great deal more to gain this experience in souther California as it is much more competitive of a market with much higher property prices and the second being that Akron seems to have low cost homes with a seemingly good ROI. Could you please shed some light on your experience in the area? Do you think it would be difficult to find trustworthy contractors, real estate agents and property manager companies being that I live far away? I've been in contact with a few agents but I am not sure if they are good and would like to know if anyone have had any positive experiences with any particular contractors, real estate agents and property manager companies . I thank you for all you help. Finally, I would love to trade any help for legal advice haha
