Recently, more states have adopted protections based upon sexual orientation and gender identity, for example.

My main point is to chase down "sampling error" and perhaps confirmation bias. 

No Bias.

There's still sampling bias but that would be a fair start.

I know that this is a RE forum so theirs a bias against other investments but I have plenty of colleagues that retired and soon to retire off their 401k and other market investments with millions at the same age as you guys but without the tenants, mortgages, lawsuites, maintenance, always searching, offering, closing and renovating, cpa headaches etc.

I'll say this every time... if you're thinking about Ohio you need to do yourself a favor and also consider Detroit.I'm obviously biased because I have 12-doors there.

Check out the Midwest mate.Ohio, Michigan and Indiana.I'm bias toward Ohio but lot's of attention in our state last few years.Decent B class properties for sub $100,000Much success

Yes, I'm bias 😁)Just my opinion and wishing you much success

I'm usually biased towards not selling to keep growing your portfolio unless the property is underperforming or a major headache.If you need introductions to lenders, feel free to send me a PM and I will get you connected.

So im obviously biased.
