Additionally, my kid will be attending the school district I work in, which will be more challenging in two years when they enter high school.

I usually get a truthful answer here and charge any additional fees if necessary right after the booking.

A lot of people are fearful right now.I'm just over the hill in Reno, NV and chose to live and invest here because our property taxes do not reassess on the sale, landlord/tenant laws are much more favorable, and there is steady job and population growth, but we're still very close to the benefits of CA. 

I'm curious for people living in Florida what the markets are like for doing rehabs. 

Almost nothing on-market cashflows right now in any market.Just curious where you live and how you chose Cincinnati. 

Depending on the area you find a property might determine how long you live there.

I just separated from the military currently living in Nothern Virginia  and I have been looking at out of state investing and I would love to get your input on that and also how would you go about finding leads when you do not live in that particular state I’m particularly looking at N.C around the Fort.

***Update Here***Should I keep Or Sale Gut Flip in B- area.If I sale my new flip best I’ll get is 30k after 9 months.If I keep as a Long term rental I’ll have to convert the garage into a 1 bed cottage at an additional cost of $35k leaving a total of $107k left in this deal after 70% refi and closing cost.

You could take that same $70K plus what you planned for that $680K down payment and buy 3 investment rentals in states like FL, TN, IN, OH, GA, LA, even up on the Oregon Coast just above you in CA.Most of my customers live in CA and none of them invest in Cali instead they buy in the states I listed above.
