Is it a place that you grew up vacationing, that you used to live near, some niche hobby that has a travel/tourism element (ice fishing, hiking National Parks that aren't the 6 that everyone knows, motorcycle rallies, etc.), or some other specific knowledge that would give you an unfair advantage over other investors?

After a similar 2016 ordinance was struck down by the court system, Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz worked with city council to craft an updated version of the Toledo Lead Ordinance, which then passed in December, 2020.The ordinance requires that owners of 1-4-unit residential rental properties or family childcare homes built before 1978 have their property inspected and certified lead-safe, as well as register their property with the county auditor.
