I look at about 1,000 properties a week and have clients all over the country including Ohio.If you could put your price range, down payment, expected cap rate, tenant type, location such as suburban or urban core, etc. then I could quickly tell you if what you are looking for is a 1 in 100 or a 1 in 5,000 property.

Other than that, I agree. 

I do agree that access to individuals like that would open doors and your mind to a world that you don't know.

If you do plan to go for the bonus depreciation then make sure you’re committed to the property for at least 5 years.There are still lenders doing 10% down second home loans as well as 15% investment - I just talked with one last week that served most of the country. 

Some developers build STNL and in agreement for tenant to receive heavy TI's (tenant improvements) they agree to pay above market rents.

@James Wisei totally agree! 

If you only want to visit once or twice a year, I agree with @Brian Barch 100%.

It really is the best way because in one city, you might get a quote of $10k to re-wire, and then your project house cross the country, all the bids come in at $20k.

I agree with Michael.
