Hi, yes all of those areas definitely great areas to invest in real estate my clients would agree also, Ohio has a competitive market.

Then look at some of the competition to see what your property needs to offer in order to be competitive.

As a mortgage broker in CA, I've worked with Easy Street over the last few years and they have their certain box they are competitive in, but overall, they're okay. 

For long-term rental (LTR) investors, an ideal private loan would offer competitive interest rates, reasonable fees, and flexibility on terms such as prepayment penalties.

It's the best because it's confusing, which keeps Wall Street investors out, and keep our profits high with lowered competition.

Did you find anything suitable that is more competitively priced?

Nathan mentioned using a syndication site to push your listing to multiple sites at one time which is also something that I recommend in order to expose your property to as many sites as possible.Some things to consider to maximize the efficiency and giving a perspective resident a great experience from the beginning to having a scheduling link available in your description for specific days and times that you can show the property so that you can capture your leads wanting to tour the property without them having to wait for a response from you and scheduling a one off time.I would recommend investigating in having professional photography taken if you are leasing in a market that has a lot of competition since your photos will have your property stand out and drive traffic.Good luck!

But as an investor I see that as a high level of competition in a market that doesn't have enough draw for families (mine, at least).2.
