I am also looking to invest in Cincinnati and Cleveland.

Couple years ago we represented a buyer & then took over management of this duplex in Cleveland.

Columbus, Dayton, and Cleveland are great markets to be in!

Inexpensive markets like Toledo, OH and Cleveland, OH are doing really well for out of state investors.

Great cashflow and appreciating markets here such as Columbus and Cleveland 

., Cleveland, Columbus, Indianapolis, Kansas City and open to exploring new areas where the entry point is affordable but the cash flow is stable).- Seeking properties that can generate $2K+ a month in combined rent after factoring in property management, insurance, and property tax expenses.Seeking Advice:- Would purchasing two houses in the Midwest to achieve $2K+ cash flow per month be a sound strategy, or do you recommend alternative approaches?

Cleveland has a ton of fix-and-flip opportunities. 

I invest locally in Columbus and Cleveland.

lets say you live in Cleveland or Columbus and a perfectly good house not in the hoody can be what 200k 250k..

I have family invested in Cleveland but the declining population and snowy conditions makes me hesitant (lived in CA all life, no idea what repairs snow damage needs?)
