(I suggest reading this article below)https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/core-four-real-estate-tea...Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're leaning towards appreciation.

I feel like people lean more towards the possible cash flow and turn a blind eye to the risks and reality of owning a D property (not saying this one was) when it is 1,000 miles away and they only have to take phone calls from a third party about any issues. 

Your typical 4-5 star reviewed property management company on Google or is there a different type of property management company that you lean towards more?

Not to mention the various layers of independent contractor relationships that exist not only between yourself and the owner but as well as yourself and the 3rd party vendors you likely lean on.

If return on equity approaches typical stock market returns, I would lean toward investing in the stock market, as there is less effort involved (though not necessarily less risk). 

I'd probably lean more towards Richardson than Carrollton based on what the people I know say about schools. 

If this property can cash flow and pull the money you invested out (or at least the large majority of it) I would lean in that direction. 

The two SIOR guys I talked with both leaned towards Multifamily If they were startIng out today but the big investors/developers I know steer me towards learning industrial and paying my dues.

I have been leaning more towards the inland cities anyway simply because of the risk of damage factor.
