Prime example of recency bias 

It's just my two cents worth (and I'm biased as a CPA) but let a professional do their job and you should see a result over time that makes their cost well worth it.Account Closed - Remember, speed does not equal the best result.  

You need an unbiased opinion.Here's a research done by a lender for multi family (they have offices in many parts of the country - excluding Cincinnati) and they reported that Cincinnati is a good city to invest in: (in fact, institutional investors have recently flocked to it - if you want to succeed, watch where the "big money" goes to)https://arbor.com/blog/cincinnati-multifamily-market-expansion/Cincinnati is where I invest and I live here, so yes I am biased but again, put more weight on the above report.

You really need to read the Residential Tenancies Act to get a sense of the bureaucracy and over regulation as well as the bias in the system towards tenants.

@Steve Meyers it may be my personal bias because I live here but I LOVE Indiana.

I am biased, but Florida IS the place to invest.

Again, it will be your best guess but it is better than going blind into having one site that me be "bias" to the comp.  

I might be biased though because I have an accounting degree :)  I'll talk from experience though, I think an accounting degree is great for REI for two reasons.. 1.

I'm biased (own a Tk company) but I think you should  start  with a couple of TurnKey Properties.. while David's book is full of great information...sourcing, rehabbing, renting and managing properties from a distance is an extremely risky venture.

As an Indiana native, I may be biased, but I do consider Indiana a great place to live.
