I have been narrowing down some markets and trying to explore/research more and network.

It has been on the rental market for about 55 days and the average in the area is supposedly 36.

I think it's the best market in the whole country in my opinion.

I plan to manage the properties myself until it conflicts with my regular job.I would appreciate any advice on these markets to ensure success and connect with local investors.    

Very interested in the Cleveland/Ohio market in addition to a few other cross-border cities closer to Toronto. 

I'm sure you will get bombarded with multiple markets that others suggest. 

I appreciate the encouragement—I'm excited to learn from and connect with investors in this community.Right now, I’m primarily focused on house hacking in the LA market, but I’m open to exploring out-of-state opportunities later in my career.

Know your market cap rate and you can quickly determine whether property is worth a closer look. 

Plus, you already know the market, which gives you an edge.

There are no laws restricting mark-to-market rents.
