Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're leaning towards appreciation.

My advice - buy one LTR in Jacksonville, FL and Columbus, OH and then determine which market you like better and put all your effort on that market.

I moved from Florida to start investing in Columbus, OH.

Oh yeah forgot one, evictions 6 months to a year and imagine 2 ongoing at the same time.

oh yea, I recently started my own business (2021 was my fist year in business, commercial door company, non real estate related venture) and gave up my w2 income and was already denied another refinance on my primary due to lack of self employment history. this was with the bank my business uses with and they want 2 years of self employment income on the books. end of 2022 will be 2 years so financing may be an issue if I want to 1031 now, but i havent really thought all of that out yet either. 

I am a first time home buyer looking to purchase an out of state investment property through a newly formed LLC (I am based in NYC, looking to buy in Ohio).

Asking $2.25 million today, and offering $20K in "buyer credits".3385 Birds Creek Rd, Sevierville, TN 37876 | MLS #1256702 | Zillow Oh god, this is astonishing.

I am looking to invest in apartment units 12 - 26 in OH and I am from out of state?

Oh and tornado's don't worry about those, we get a bad rep around here for the weather!

If you're interested in the Cleveland, Ohio market I'd be happy to speak with you.
