Welcome to the community @Austin Tess! Starting with a turnkey cash flow rental is my recommendation for first time investors.

Hey Tucker, I would say hiring a local property manager is a game-changer for out of state investments. They'll manage rentals, handle emergencies, and free up your time for investment strategy. Plus, they often have established connections with handymen and contractors, making maintenance and repairs seamless. By hiring property management, you'll reduce stress and gain more time to focus on your investment goals. Just be sure to select a reliable property manager that aligns with your expectations

Welcome to BiggerPockets Abu!

Welcome to BiggerPockets Chris! I noticed you are also interested in the Central Ohio market. Columbus is a great market to pick up rental properties because of the demand from renters. JPMorgan Chase, Nationwide, Honda, L Brands, Huntington, and Amazon are just a few of the many companies that have thousands of jobs in the city. New Albany is home to several major data centers including ones operated by Amazon, Google and Facebook, whose parent company, Meta, announced plans in the spring to expand its New Albany campus. Best of luck on your journey and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions
