@Mitchell TruongFrom the research I've done, Ohio is a great state for several reasons: it's a landlord friendly state, cap rates are 6-8%, even higher in some pockets, relatively low vacancy, lots of job growth and some population growth.

I would like to know your strategy for finding these landlords, especially in large apartment buildings if you are dealing with a property management company

Hello BP Community,As is very common I have friends who purchase their rental houses under their own name in order to get lower interest rate loans with better terms and also cheaper landlord insurance, and then they transfer the title into their LLC after closing. 

If you are living in a place that is satisfactory why not change the arrangement with the landlord?  

So they pick on the landlords for everything because we don't have enough of us to vote them out.

Second, your lease should indicate what items are included/covered by the landlord.

I really don’t have an interest in being a landlord in any way.

Bank owned landlord built them specific for tenant rentals. 

And the rules are also very landlord-friendly.
