You are living next door for a year so your choice to rent to someone may have a direct impact on your life (unless you are not home most of the time).Cheers and good luck!

You'll get everything you're looking for and more in Ohio.Pretty happy with my decision to move to Columbus but Cincy and Cleveland are also great choices in my opinion.

@Saleh Riazi  So now that you've learned your lesson ... how about listing your choices for a PM!!!

Leveraging a 1031 exchange is your best bet for deferring capital gains taxes while reinvesting in a new property.

Typically reno scope/rents/insurance/etc. are very market-specific, so building your analysis muscle for your chosen market is important so that you go in with the best possible chance to make an educated choice on purchasing.

Just wanted to pass on that Navy Federal has a Homebuyers Choice option, 0% downpayment, really 0%, no PMI, but higher interest rate and 1.75% funding fee (and sellers can contribute up to 6%!)

I can tell you that the OSU area is indeed a great choice for investment because of the high demand for rental properties and the limited vacancies.
