On Ohio’s govt website, it shows Cleveland and Columbus both with quite a few OZs.

I would also let your personal and professional sphere know what you are doing and start picking up some investors so you can raise capital and get a share of the GP. 

I'm brand new to the investing sphere and have been reading several books on real estate, investing, and business, but I get the feeling that none of these books or the online sources I've looked at (except BiggerPockets) actually go into the nitty gritty details.

Do you feel OZ’s are a solid investment moving forward in this economy?

I remove people like her from my sphere and I'm much happier and productive as a result.

I am a very new investor and I feel like Dorothy after the tornado in wizard of oz.

@Ken Oz That’s what I said to my realtor is why wasn’t this disclosed.

You can ask your agent to prospect for you by calling or mailing the neighborhood, network with their agent sphere for pocket listings are coming soon, private sales, and/or distressed situations.

An investor is much more likely to take you under their wing after you have brought them a deal or proven your value in another way.It is never too early to start looking for deals, start with the people you know AKA your sphere of influence (SOI).

I would add that many properties inside the OZ are already priced accordingly.
