They see a 60-year-old man driving a new Corvette and don't realize that guy drove the same Honda Accord for 20 years while saving and investing.

However, I live close-by (30 minute drive), recently retired from my day-job, and if the loan is not too large, I might be willing to do a deal just to learn a bit more about another side of RE.  

That’s what drives me.Is it worth it?

North Linden, South of Main, Vassor Village, Woodland Park, MT Vernon, Milo-Grogan, Franklinton, Merrion Village, Hungarian Village, Southern Orchards, Driving Park, Olde Towne East, Franklin Park, King Lincoln, Old Oaks, Livingston Park are all but not limited to some areas in Columbus, Ohio I think will gentrify quickly and make for great long term buy and holds.This helps greatly.thanks!  

You could also try looking up money judgements filed against local businesses at the magistrate level and target them with direct mail or driving for dollars. 

Additionally, take some time to drive around your neighborhood and gather information on recently sold properties within a mile radius.

If appreciation is not there, however, it seems like a potentially long waiting game to see if your $60k investment today returns anything meaningful in the long run.

The best market is likely a "Good" cash flow market that you have some ties to, in some way shape or form, or one that is a reasonable drive from where you live, if practical/possible. 

I have been binging BP money while I drive around for work.
