well there is only one answer to this Columbus Ohio.. full stop.

I worked with a handyman and my lender Dayton Capital of Dayton Ohio.  

I recently talked to someone locally to me (Ohio) who got in trouble with the LCB for giving away a bottle of wine with his luxury rental as even that was considered selling it. 

OH!

What I found to be a solid 3 family in Troy, OH. 

I keep hopping around from Florida to Nashville to North Carolina, maybe Ohio for the lower price point when I was considering buying more than arbitrage.  

Oh and I have another one that is mf that I think we got checks maybe 6 out of 12 months..

Saw Ohio was on your short list. 

But you still have to eat today.Buying in  Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and Michigan might be cheap and you can make a little cash flow but, the trouble with vacancies, trashed properties and evictions off sets a lot of that.What I have found, is that by buying decent properties in decent areas, before they even get listed and taking over the current financing at 3% or 4% provides cash flow in almost any situation. 

Oh noooooo I’m so sorry!
