Listing prices/property taxes are awesome and rent prices look good as well.

Pull the original and any added disclosures out - they have questions about community water system - might be worth your while once you get all this data together to consult with an attorney to see if you have a claim. 

I'm just looking for a break even property. also take into account taxes.

Or if there are any reliable "coaches" I can consult with on the matter. 

Expenses and taxes can be a confusing part of real estate.  

@Barbara BertaDoing a 30 min. consult with a Real Estate Attorney will probably be well worth the cost.  

However, I'm still open to choosing Columbus Ohio if it's a better investment than the Philadelphia area.My priorities are:- Landlord friendliness (I don't want to get stuck in a location where its hard to get uncooperative tenants out of a property)- Friendlier Short Term Rental laws (AirBNB, etc) - Ideally lower property taxes (Not a huge concern if there isn't a big difference between the two)- Better cash flow (If the different purchase price to cash flow is substantial, I'd want the better cash flowing area)Which between these two regions would you recommend?

If you are a tax accountant, get thru that busy season. 

@Neera MelwaniI recommend finding a tax strategist specializing in real estate taxation.

I also jJust ran a report for "total rent" (w/o cleaning fees & taxes) and while the 1st QTR(Jan-Mar) trailed lower, all my Smokies properties exceeded last April's total rent except one was lower by $98.
