Looking for ways to expand my network as well as possible job opportunities. 

These numbers suggest this could be a strong buy-and-hold investment, assuming the market supports your rent and expense estimates.Good luck!

If so what was the experience like.Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with so much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here (26B Intel headquarters being built here, 68K+ enrollment in Ohio State University, Amazon, FB, Google, Honda, Nationwide, Anduril, etc.).

I always advise to run a business for 3-6 months without an entity to see if it something you are making money in and something you want to continue doing.Once you have 3-6 months of activity, you have more information to provide to an accountant regarding income so he can provide suggestions on entity type.Best of luck

I’m not familiar with those markets, but I would suggest finding some meetups and attending as many as you can.

Or it is a working class area with a lot of jobs that are likely to be heavily impacted by a recession.To understand these risks, unfortunately, takes experience.
