Now, your post also stated Dayton, Ohio - any reason why you want to invest elsewhere?  

More business than investment.

@Hiyun Park only experienced investors can DIY everything in Class C Midwest areas like Detroit, Cleveland, St Louis, etc.Hopefully the info below will help you:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Quote from @Evan Thomas Andriola: Cleveland investors,What are your thoughts on investing in a property that is currently vacant? 

I’m looking to purchase my first multi family home in the city of Colombus and am looking for the hard numbers, metrics I should be on the lookout for, and sample properties to get my hands wet as far as what’s considered a good deal and area to invest in.

Hey everyone,I’m David, and I started BRRRR investing in Baltimore in 2023.

For example over the last four to five years a lot of people went out and bought STRs thinking it was going to be a great investment only to find out that the numbers did not work a year later and needed to try to use it as a LTR to make ends meet. 

Markets are extremely important for real estate investment.
