I have lived in Dayton, Ohio for most of my life except for 6 years in the Air Force where I was stationed in the Netherlands.

It was a tough decision to commit to my local market with my duty station only having a population of 30,000 and being heavily dependent on the military. 99.99% was overpriced.

There's a cute downtown area where railroad tracks and an Amtrak station are situated and I absolutely fell in love with this town four years ago.

I have visited Indianapolis in the past (was almost stationed there in 2015) and think it would be a good market for me.
