This is largely due to major companies such as Intel, Honda, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and Wexner Medical Center investing heavily in the area and creating numerous job opportunities. 

I’m fairly new to real estate investing, I’ve been spending most of my time running my medical/tech company.I look forward to learning and connecting with you all!

welcome to bp, the furnished apartment space is great especially if you can get contracts with medical institutions or companies that  relocate their employees.

@Thomas Yourkiewicz - There is a great deal of information on BP about Toledo to help you understand its national appeal vs other cities, price, cash flow, and ease of entry are a few.My biggest lesson learned in Real Estate in general is - whatever your niche, you will do just fine provided you specialize, create an offering that meets a need in the market, and stay the course when you have hurdles.This holds true if you specialize offering housing to professionals who need high-end temporary housing while assigned to long term projects...medical facility rentals with nursing staff provided...and for every aspect of servicing the investing community (hard money, note buying, appraisals, etc) which gets you out of the landlord role altogether.One sure way to fail is to constantly shift your focus and jump between cities, neighborhoods, or investments. 

Hersey area is always good because of the medical school.

I happen to have a good friend thats a VP of finance at a pretty large medical corporation, so I will certainly be employing him when I make my move to investments.Not being able to use a 1040ez basically answers my questions, and means this will be over my head and will need a good accountant come tax season.So basically only 35% of my property and income can be taxed w/ a triplex?
