In Ohio you can find a lot of single family in the $100-200k range or 2-4 units in the $150-400k range that do pretty well cash flow.

Ah yes, I own property in Tulsa but actually also have a real estate automation company with nationwide coverage - I started adding markets to the list to illustrate the range of areas we cover but should definitely add Tulsa to the list as well!

Make sure you are clear on your objective so they are not showing you deals that are not worth looking at. 

In my experience, there are a range of starting-off experiences, but one's experience is not always indicative of someone's desire/drive/commitment to pursue and thrive in real estate. 

I would need to know a lot more about your specific situation and objectives in order to tailor the advice.

What is your price range/down payment amount? 

Flippers were in the $700K range.

No deal is perfect, and anyone on these forums will have different investment objectives as you, but you will typically get some things to at least think about before moving forward.

Do you have a purchase price range you're targeting?

@Jordan Brown It might be difficult to find properties in your price range unless you're willing to house hack.
