If you can find buildings in areas that attract a mix of A and B class tenants, all the better!

With OSU graduating 6000+ students a year, as the state capitol and with tax incentives attracting big business to Columbus, there are great investment opportunities here.  

Even the Sheriff's office ladies say that they have five working days to file the Order and the Server can take two weeks to Post the Eviction.

I am seeing some 4 units and smaller apartments that are attractive.  

I have spoken with her and she seems a really nice lady but I am yet to do business with her. 

Like attracts like.

Stratford, Bridgeport, West Haven, and New Haven are reasonably close and have some attractive prices

Given the choice between the two, I find that higher quality tenants are more attracted to laminate than to carpet.

While you can get stiffed there are a number of ways of mitigating that.1) You have done this and it is have higher rent which attracts a better class of tenant. 2) Screen well and get quality people3) Use a debiting service to collect rent.

Thanks, @Neal Collins, you're absolutely right: I'll need to do a lot of homework on the mortgages, taxes, potential fees etc. for any given property.Another big reason I'm doing this is that there are a lot of attractive reasons to go from having an external office for my business (which is currently the case) to having an in-home office that would be tax deductible and essentially give me a discount on my house payment.However, another consideration that I must be careful of is that with seller-financing, a seller can sell the house as-is with possibly a huge number of repairs/some deeply fundamental repair needed.
