So, naturally, prices got bid up, with a LARGE proportion of buyers being out-state VALUING based on out-state market's, NOT what OH market fundamentals and sustainability is.

If you can sustain a 15% drop in rents and the property would still be positive cash flow, you're generally going to come out safe in market ups and downs.

After you have sustained success with that then you can expand.......good luck
