This is partly due to how landlords are reacting to rent control.  

Ask agencies if you can start out as a part timer and see how they react.

I think people are over reacting too much.

I’ve lived in Clearwater over 30 years, husband is a native (rare find lol).

If they have no interest in selling, you're more likely to just get ignored than for someone to react negatively. 

As a native who has seen the changes starting since 1999.

If he refuses, turn him over to collections.If you follow the lease and the law, you don't have to worry about how the tenant is going to react.

These include Abott labs, Honda, Facebook, Amazon, JP Morgan Chase, Nationwide, Root Insurance.....The list goes on. 2) Logistically you can get to, I think its 80ish% (don't quote me on that number), of the continental US within a 12 hour drive of Columbus, so it will remain a logistical hub. 3) Then there is also Ohio State or "THE" Ohio State as all the natives like to correct you...so that is an economic driver for sure.From a REI point of view I really like that the cost of either a Single Family home in the burbs, or a duplex 5 mins outside downtown is attainable, even for a "normal person" with a day job.

PersonallyI think people over-react to these a bit too much, but it's still a pain in the *** to some degree and if you had any choice I'd pick a more business and landlord friendly area to invest. 

I not only work with investors, but am a Chicago native and invest in the market myself.
