Hey @Casey Haight, I'm also based in Salt Lake, and was in a similar position back in 2017.

I am a Real Estate Investor in Salt Lake City, but I am looking to expand outside of Utah.

(Yes I know there are other restrictions/conditions.)In the past, I have toyed with the idea of a vacation/rental property in Ocean City, MD, Rehoboth/Bethany/Dewy, DE, and/or the Deep Creek Lake, MD area (I like the idea of being within 3 hours of the rental property in case something goes horrible wrong and I need to travel to the property). 

Quote from @Aaron Lake: Hey Mike, I am a new investor looking to get into LTR's in Toledo.

There is Westchester County "upstate" and there is Saranac Lake or Tug Hill "upstate" and they might as well be different countries they are so different.   

Redfin.com, and Realtor.com are really good for looking at school ratings, for crime you will want to look at the census bureau, or even this website https://www.areavibes.com/orlando-fl/rock+lake/

I just moved to Texas from Salt Lake city.
