However, most investor that are investing OOS or OOC are typically investing in Columbus because of all of the positive growth in the market.

I am planning to travel to Columbus and drive around but I can't possibly get to know an entire area in even a few short visits. 

Have you looked into Ohio markets such as Columbus?

Columbus, Ohio is a great market to consider if you're looking for appreciation markets that still cash flow.

Thanks in advance.Hi Bryan, I have plenty of experience with Section 8 tenants in my own rentals here in Columbus OH.

I was looking at Columbus, GA, Cincinatti, OH, Akron, OH, and a few others.

I can’t speak much about other markets, but as someone who started off in Columbus, and grew up in Cleveland, i would say that the Ohio market in general is a very beginner friendly state for investors. 

Hi fellow investors, I recently bought a single family home in Columbus which already had a section 8 tenant in place.

I ultimately chose Columbus Ohio and have been pretty happy with my decision. 

I know markets in Buckeye Lake, Lancaster, Delaware, parts of Columbus, Sandusky, Port Clinton, Zanesville, etc.
