I've been doing major looking at Columbus and Clevenland Ohio, flew to Columbus a few months ago, recently found what I thought was some money-makers, but the numbers never pan out. i find that that even though the prices per unit are often around $50,000 and in Califrornia the price per unit is more than  $300,000 you will find that the profits in California are superior compared to Ohio. 

That describes me exactly- I have a full-time job and don't want to make real estate a second job, but I also don't want to use my job and life as an excuse for inaction!
