Side Note: Up front capital from my side is not an issue for down payments, and leaning towards the fix and flip strategy to build some cash and roll into a 1031 to ultimately get into the multi family space.  

Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're leaning towards appreciation.

This will be for my primary home so will really lean on an architect/engineer. 

Florida video voyeurism law:810.145 Video voyeurism(1) As used in this section, the term:(c) “Place and time when a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy” means a place and time when a reasonable person would believe that he or she could fully disrobe in privacy, without being concerned that the person’s undressing was being viewed, recorded, or broadcasted by another, including, but not limited to, the interior of a residential dwelling, bathroom, changing room, fitting room, dressing room, or tanning booth.(2) A person commits the offense of video voyeurism if that person:(a) For his or her own amusement, entertainment, sexual arousal, gratification, or profit, or for the purpose of degrading or abusing another person, intentionally uses or installs an imaging device to secretly view, broadcast, or record a person, without that person’s knowledge and consent, who is dressing, undressing, or privately exposing the body, at a place and time when that person has a reasonable expectation of privacy;(b) For the amusement, entertainment, sexual arousal, gratification, or profit of another, or on behalf of another, intentionally permits the use or installation of an imaging device to secretly view, broadcast, or record a person, without that person’s knowledge and consent, who is dressing, undressing, or privately exposing the body, at a place and time when that person has a reasonable expectation of privacy; or(c) For the amusement, entertainment, sexual arousal, gratification, or profit of oneself or another, or on behalf of oneself or another, intentionally uses an imaging device to secretly view, broadcast, or record under or through the clothing being worn by another person, without that person’s knowledge and consent, for the purpose of viewing the body of, or the undergarments worn by, that person.(5) This section does not apply to any:(a) Law enforcement agency conducting surveillance for a law enforcement purpose;(b) Security system when a written notice is conspicuously posted on the premises stating that a video surveillance system has been installed for the purpose of security for the premises;(c) Video surveillance device that is installed in such a manner that the presence of the device is clearly and immediately obvious; It sounds like the OP's situation may not be covered.

For my passive capital I chose to lean away from crowdfunding platforms in favor of building relationships with great operators and investing directly with them.

So not to overly lean on the excuse of the pandemic as some may do, but more sharing the data that anyone can pull up regarding rentals profitability, vacancy, and eviction rates for years 20’- 22’. . . .

It's funny you bring up Cleveland because it's one of the markets I've been researching and leaning toward jumping in. 

I look forward to being part of this community and leaning on the expertise of more seasoned investors. 

If I were you I would lean towards properties with smaller landscaping issues if possible to minimize costs.

Columbus, Ohio is a great market if you're leaning towards appreciation.
