Akron, while not a 24 hour city, is still a generally stable, established city.  

Stable demand, in retiree market - yes, but also in several other segments: professional working remotely, new Americans. 

In this type of area having just 1 or 2 properties is ok because your tenant base is higher end and more stable. 

It’s stable cashflow and long term appreciation and tons of accelerated bonus depreciation on taxes. like most anything in real estate it’s a long term play.

If this is about a fence a foot over the property line, I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze..

Findlay is a real oppotunity beause you’ve got a combination of stable job sources, a decent population size, and often lower acquisition costs compared to bigger metros.About choosing an agent..

I got this e-mail too.

Hello BP community,Most of the builders do not offer investors opportunity to buy the lots and they claim they are only for primary residence (i;e they will sell only if you are going to live in it (example Ryan homes, Pulte homes etc..) are there any builders out there who can sell to investors for "buy to rent" in Columbus OH?

Some of the best opportunities can be found in other regions, particularly in markets known for strong rental performance, stable property values, and tenant demand.
