In my area (Western WA) there are always people looking for free or reduced rent in return for home improvements, remodeling and/or handyman work.Finally, after you've successfully used, rented, and managed the property for long enough, you would be entitled to petition your local court for title to it under the Ohio adverse possession statute.   

I went to one of these about 5 years ago but the volume was MUCH higher then.After some more research, another renovated unit in this condo sold this week for $165,000.https://www.redfin.com/WA/Kent/1840-Central-Pl-S-98030/unit-D37/home/27527?
