Your in the right spot.

Lots of fishing spots, parks, beaches. 

There's spots in the south and in the midwest where you can buy a house in need of work for like 30k, someone brought me a duplex in Tenn the other day that they had under contract for 65k. 

As someone who works with a lot of out of state investors, Columbus is a top investment spot with strong job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide) and a growing population. 

i cover pest control and lawn care on my stuff. keeps down on issues and i know the place looks good. for my student rentals i also build in a quarterly cleaning fee where my cleaning lady comes through and does a deep clean. extra eyes on stuff and parents happily pay it to ensure their kids have a solid spot. pass through cost for me and well worth it. 

@Mike Lambert is spot on about cancellation of golden visa.

This advice is spot on.

Michael is spot on.

The advice of the prior two posters: "speak to your CPA" is spot on.If you are investing in syndications that have activity in states outside your own, your tax situation is sufficiently complicated to onboard a professional.

I have found this to be spot on in my life (both in music and in sales).
