Here is a good video The Ohio Division of Real Estate made about wholesaling in Ohio https://www.com.ohio.gov/real/ I recommend you just get your real estate sales license.

@Kendric BufordRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

@David C. is absolutely correct. 

I like the asset class IE not C class in the deep south.

I emphasize the importance of utilizing professional photos, videos, and online presence to enhance property visibility.

If you have a C class rental but screen it like its an A class rental, some landlords might believe they are doing a superior job!

We take pre guest check in videos between every guest.

Ha, huge fan, I just made a video about the book from Chris Voss!

Horror story #2: while selling off one of the Class C Indianapolis properties, buyer asked me to pay replace the sewer line before closing... absolutely not...here's a partial credit (check to written out to contractor from closing proceeds so buyers don't pocket the money) 

@Joseph Gary guessing your Detroit experience was with a Class C property.So, you may want to focus on Class B properties also.
