@Eric Johnson I definitely am, thank you for the information.  

@Ray Johnson Definitely, would go out there once under contract and travel restrictions have been lifted. 

As for your last statement on the rent being the same/going up... that's fine but it doesn't speak much to the market given that the economy has been going up the last few years too....I have so many more thoughts about your question.. one that @Ray Johnson touched on above...you mentioned your project is new - but what does that mean?

Currently working full time as a software engineer, as well as joined Keller Williams Benchmark Properties, Fremont, CA as a real estate agent.I would love to connect with other ike minded investors to scale up.Cheers,Johnson

@Mysonne Johnson Go for it!

My partner Tyrone Johnson is actually from the Logan County area of Ohio originally and his thoughts are below.Urbana is a bit complex, small town, and the college just decided it would close its campus due to the low enrollment among a few other issues.

Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Renata Johnson

@Chaz T Johnson sounds like you have the right scenario, having your spouse qualifying as a real estate professional.

@Clarence Johnson - Thanks!

@Shawn Johnson what is your opinion on investing in a market out of state?
