@Susan Kang what is drawing you specifically to these two markets as compared to other great markets in the mid-west?

Wondering if there would be an opportunity to do Section 8 housing there if properties are cheap and market rent is high enough.

If they tenant is $300 below market, that's costing you $3,600 a year.

Pending property prices in your market perhaps $25,000 is enough to buy a small rental house.

Columbus is a great rental market and we have a ton of opportunities here.

@Chelsea DiLuzio the Midwest markets are way different than the markets out west!

I would compare the return on your rental to your stock market portfolio.

I decided to begin my journey in Detroit, MI market.
