I recommend the major cities in Ohio:-Columbus, great for appreciation, pp is a bit higher around $220k for multifamily-Cincinnati, has a mix of cash flow and appreciation, average multifamily around $180k-Cleveland, has alot of cashflow potential, average multifam around $140kThere are other smaller markets like Dayton, Akron, and Toledo, however there is not alot of economic drivers to those areas.Looking for cashflow?

It's likely more than background noise, but less than a primary driver(this is personal intuition speaking, not something garnered from hard data.)But inflation is one of those situations where perception becomes reality.

Time for you to get in the driver's seat.

I am currently a professional driver over the road.

I would be mindful of the demand drivers and supply barriers.

THere are sites that compare health insurance, driver's insurance, etc.Does anyone know of any online comparison sites to get quotes from multiple agents for Landlord's (commerical residential property) insurance?

@Mitch Coluzzi   is it mandatory to sit through class's .... my states OR CA MS you could do it on line.And if your already a broker like I am you only have to take the state portion.. which in Mississippi was 15 questions.... and they hand grade it there right at the counter I got 13 of 15 in 5 minutes I was  a MS broker... the study material was like studying for a drivers license  they just handed you this little booklet....

This means understanding the economic drivers in the property market that determine where the best deals are.3.

After spending the next two weeks watching every real estate video I could find, I was determined to purchase my first rental property.By this time, I had been eating free meals at the school dining hall, saving my ROTC stipends, and working three part-time jobs (campus taxi driver at night, finance internship two days per week, and ice hockey referee on weekend mornings).

With that much down, you should be in the driver's seat, unless the property is marketable conventionally....if the seller advertised seller financing or it is ojn the listing, they expect to see such deals.I would not be afraid to walk away if your terms were not met, let the seller think about and lose sleep, then go back, maybe a little lower and come back up later on...whatever.If you don't have any credit issues that loan should go out at least three years, in fact a few months over might be better, like 40 months.
