Cincy and Dayton are great markets.

Hi Max, I can speak about the Columbus Ohio market (as this is the market I specialize in) but yes, there is strong competition here and there are obviously some cash buyers and they will always have a slight advantage.

*I know the markets really well even better than some local agents.

You may want to start with the BP agent finder for those markets and then work with them to find good PMs and lenders.

Pushing into other, close-by, markets is the best (and maybe only) way to make it work.

Charge market rent. 

Start by analyzing cash flow and market demand for each property to decide which one to rent out.

You tell me a market that was hit harder than Vegas?

I hear about all these different markets and get excited, but I knew I needed to pick one.
