I want to see what everyone in the central Ohio region says about this?

Succeed at marketing and you'll find motivated sellers in any region of the country, be it the Garden State or on the west coast.

My advice would to be browse the regional forums and look for threads with real estate tax/legal questions and look for CPAs that have thoughtful posts.

My exact location will depend on job placement, but somewhere between the Akron/Cleveland region.If anyone has any tips on investing in multifamily in this particular region (or any region for that matter) feel free to share!

I'm currently researching HELOCs...it's no surprise that the smaller regional banks and credit unions seem to have the best interest rates and terms.

Any house flipper in Toronto Canada?

Especially if its not a nationwide bank as most local and regional banks are easier to deal with.Good investing...

You would be correct that AirBnB investors are taking a hit at the moment, in some coastal regions this will be an issue but in Sarasota it won't be.

I think you will find the properties are much more affordable than what you are going to see in the bay area, and the economic and population growth of the city as well as the sheer space has allowed for the greater Sac region to grow over the last few years.I personally live in West Sac which I love because like you my family is from the bay area and its a quick shot across the causeway from my house than some of the deeper parts of sac such as Carmichael, Rocklin, or Folsom.As far as available inventory in Sacramento its pretty light and its competitive at pretty much every price point but with a good game plan and willingness to get out there run your numbers and find something you can make it happen!

Therefore I can only speak for the Philadelphia region.
