Prohibiting a landlord from using criminal history prior to a conditional offer.We're seriously considering selling and buying in another state.

Not sure if they have upgraded to desktop appraisals but if they are still doing in person appraisals , make sure you get everything (scope of work, good faith deposit, social, LLC docs, insurance, proof of prior experience, financial statements) in ASAP.

I have one for my other rentals through a prior relationship but that's a couple of hours away. 

It seems that most condos are selling at the purchase price from 1-2 years prior.

Thank you all who responded, I plan on spending some time driving the neighborhood and talking to anyone at the local coffee shop who will talk to me. 

Prior to diving in I would suggest a few things: I agree with @Kevin SobiloInvest in relationships and knowledge before taking the leap1.

Almost every realtor has several investors ready to invest at least $2 million in cash.If you’re planning to use hard money loans, agents won’t show properties without prior proof of funds.I’m curious, is this a general market trend in Ohio or just this particular realtor’s approach?

Highly recommend (I require) collecting first month's rent prior to handing over keys.

Prior to clean up make an inventory even if burned.  

(Reason filthy living conditions) Consult a magistrate prior to posting as it varies by state.
