I am in Ohio now just moved from Ventura County.

Oh and don't buy fancy expensive cars save that money.   

GTFO  Lot of biggerpocket advice doesn't make sense (always purchase home no matter the business climate, continue investing to GP syndication , always flip no matter what, buy one hundred rentals , always buy in ohio/arizona, leave california tomorrow , buy subto/wholesale ,etc ) .... but if some of us has to counter  and argue about it everyday, we would lose our energy.Lane doesn't scam anyone.

Oh yeah and to top it off I am unclear on the appraisal side of this.

It has the highest traffic of traveling nurses in Ohio with a few hospitals!

And then there is accounting, invoicing, marketing and advertising, legal expenses, liability, insurance...Oh yes, and ideally you want to maintain a decent profit margin on top of all that.

Oh yeah--the bathrooms have doors , too.

South Carolina, Ohio, Arizona, and Virginia have passed the strictest regulations on it....and in most cases, unanimously.

I would check out Cleveland, Ohio for that price point

My first out-of-state rental property in Cleveland, Ohio is almost done rehabbing.
