My personal opinion, I would be cautious of Dayton The pro formas can look really good on a spreadsheet but reality can sync in with slow job growth. I would focus on Ohio’s capital city Columbus Ohio/Central Ohio. I buy rental property where there is extremely strong job growth to limit vacancy. 

I will send you a direct message of a really good multi family agent in Oregon. 

***not financial advice***  Sit on hands, poise to pounce on mid-sized 10 to 50 unit apartment complexes that make cash flow. With $500K to put down/reserves/improvements search a range of $2.5M to 1.5M. Best of luck on the hunt. 

What is you best contact information? 

Thank you,

Central Ohio

Central Ohio is a great balanced market for appreciation and cash flow. Capital City with THE Ohio State University, strong employment and growing rapidly. 

Section 8 rentals in Central Ohio have worked out great for us. There can be some "gems" in the surrounding cities. (Delaware, Newark, Marysville, Circleville)

Pleasure meeting on BiggerPockets! We hold 48 units in Central Ohio and have been pleased with the outcome thus far. We should connect. 

I have helped clients in the past be able to get a 203K loan. The path of least resistance is getting your offer standard FHA accepted, then crossing any hurdles as they arise through the transaction. I have helped dozens of clients purchase properties that should not have been FHA approved close without a hitch. We also can get creative with who makes any FHA repairs while in the transaction.
