WE LIVE IN JACKSONVILLE FL AND THE PROPERTY OS IN OHIO.

Quote from @Gretchen Williams: I have a duplex in Columbus , OH. 

I am doing projects in Michigan, Ohio and Chicagoland.

@Greg H. oh yes now that you say it I recall learning that.  

Dayton, OH is a solid rental market supported by the Wright-Patterson base

Oh man!!

However, I have no idea how to choose from the remaining cities, it seems there are a lot of potential options:- Midwest - Michigan (ie: Grand Rapids) seems to have options, also seeing Columbus Ohio and Indianapolis coming up- Reno - I've seen mentioned several times on here- Pittsburgh / Philadelphia / Twin Cities - All mentioned as lower cost to get started, and seem to be experiencing growthI'd ideally like to find a place that has strong potential for future growth, a diversified economy, and I don't mind living in (being close to nature would be a plus). 

I keep getting the run around and saying oh it's just the slow months and things will be picking up soon. 

Currently looking at Akron, OH and Bessemer, AL areas but open to expand.  

If OOS is something you are looking towards, cash flowing markets like Ohio is something to look into.
