I left CA for OH 30 years ago and never looked back. 

Quote from @Robert Quiroz: I've underwritten around 30 deals so far, mostly in the Ohio market. 

OHFA (Ohio Housing Finance Agency) has some down payment assistance options.

In Ohio, the property manager usually can't file the eviction complaint in court unless they're an attorney.

Oh no doubt.

I'm in Columbus Ohio and we ahve to build the same floorplan over and over and it's a group heard mentality. we build a three story walk up triplex designed for our infill lots

I came back to Ohio and started working for a construction company, and have been there since. (2017) Currently I manage an asphalt plant for them in Columbus.I haven't done a ton of real estate investing, but have a strong understanding of construction, and project management. 

Everything around the lot is older but the neighborhood is less than 5 minutes away from downtown, hospital and colleges. see this all the time in and around downtown columbus OH, we have frindge areas that are getting rehabbed and flipped like crazy and then the new builds come in. 

Oh the pink and beige house with the tall concrete fence?").
