Thanks for the recommendation Jeffrey! 

I recommend checking out Columbus Ohio especially for multifamily.

In other words, all the other MTR hosts are dealing with the same expense.To control this expense, I always recommend an utility cap where tenants are charged for any usage over an established dollar amount.  

Here's a bit about me and what I'm up to:Background:Industrial Property: I've got an industrial property with about $1.5 million in equity.Real Estate Experience: I've been involved in multifamily properties, developed some industrial spots, and managed short-term rentals.Current Projects:1031 Exchange Plans:Objective: Considerin a 1031 exchange from my industrial property into assets like self-storage, multifamily units, Section 8 housing, or mobile home parks.Request: Given the current market and lookin' for steady returns, which asset class would y'all recommend?

Why don't you take a few months and attend a few of the BiggerPockets webinars hosted by Brandon, listen to some of the podcasts, and read a few of the recommended books.

Hi everyone  :-)Can anyone recommend a good property management company in the Cincinatti OH/Covington KY area? 

We don't recommend "newbies" start out with Class D properties.
