So I just look at the competition in my area and price accordingly.Nothing to it really.

Hello, I am looking at some multi family investment properties and I see big difference in price in properties that are turnkey from ones that are fixer uppers.

I can throw a dart at Ohio and find cities with properties that make sense.

So I'm in the market for a new broker/agent and a new insurance company for at least one building and possibly more. 

Its usually best to go the permit route when adding bathrooms ect but comes at a cost time/expense wise.

Are they efficient at doing the electronic payments from the tenant's account to the landlord's account?

From what I have gathered Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan tend to be the states that keep appearing as the best spots for potential Section 8 landlords, at this moment in time.

Look at properties up for rent in the neighborhood that are advertising for the rent you are looking to achieve.

If you do find a deal and maybe it doesn’t cash flow for the first year or 2 but you can make improvements, raise rents on under market leases, manage property effectively and cover your expenses at least you will have started and can look for better cashflow over time.

However Id like to know what are some data points and minimum criteria you look at in a market (like a 1% job growth YoY) to feel informed on your decision making processalso if you go to the area what are some things you look for physically that would be a good sign
