@Mitchell TruongFrom the research I've done, Ohio is a great state for several reasons: it's a landlord friendly state, cap rates are 6-8%, even higher in some pockets, relatively low vacancy, lots of job growth and some population growth.

I did my first long-term holds in Scranton after much research and have enjoyed a steady cash flow. 

Use tools like MLS, Redfin, BiggerPockets calculators, and Zillow for cost and income estimates, and enhance research through networking.

You need to do your research before you purchase.

For the past year, listening to podcasts, doing research, and debating when the right time to start this journey, we have decided to get over the fears and just focus on the analysis and dive right in.

Hi Brian, Yes I did a bit more research after the initial response and found the same information you just described.

I've done extensive research into the options and a lot of the paid options seem to focus on teaching specific investment methods.

Look James, clearly you have some issues where you come up with an idea than just broadcast it, completely skipping any research phase what so ever.

A fun research trip!

Do you know how I can research to find out about potential liens on the property?
