Hey Avani, a lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in the Midwest because of the affordability and numbers making more sense.

Prices in markets like Ohio are still low enough to find 1% rule deals and there's a ton of appreciation happening in this market as well. 

I actually moved from Florida to Columbus, Ohio, for the real estate. I saw how fast the Ohio market was growing and decided to make the jump.

Hey Ivan, for long term holds I'd say any neighborhood that's cash-flowing in Columbus is a good choice. I like the C to B neighborhoods of Columbus. 

If you're looking for higher cash-flow, Cleveland is another great marker to invest in. 

I'd love to share a graded map of Ohio with you!

Welcome to Bigger Pockets Melissa!

It helps to network with as many people in the industry as you can. A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association. You can usually find some events by doing a simple google search.
