There are some neighborhoods, such as Clintonville, German Village, Short North, that would have been huge opportunities 5-10 years ago, but have since matured.

My builder (in Texas) applied german schmear on the front elevation (brick) of our new house under contract without our knowledge.

and just enough in the account for about what you want to pay for it... but again I have very specific targets I go after may not be germane in trying to buy rental houses

Although the carpet was not new when they moved in, it was in very good condition.Also, this tenant had very slovenly habits in general and during their stay, the apartment became infested with German cockroaches.

The renters had 2 large german shepherds, one of which ripped the guttering and some siding off the back of the house.

German Village

Some names to look for are Adam Roberts, Aaron Katz, Kenny Wolfe, Darwin German, Merrill Kaliser, but there are plenty of others.DFW also seems to be syndication guru central.   

@Brian Burke  knows a lot about Lake co as well if you can get him to comment his thoughts would be relevant and probably more germane than mine at this time..

I'm German, but don't know anything about German Real Estate, as all of my stuff is in Georgia

And the place smelled like a German Shepherd.What you're saying about your market resonates with me.
