Granted, this is not the same league as something with a big box national anchor, or a Class A office tower, but then I suspect most of the readers of this site aren't looking at that scale of investment.Small business, almost by definition, is largely "mom & pop", or purely entrepreneurial, and most fail within the first three years.

Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge with me.Usually the discussion around Ohio is do you invest in Columbus which is the most expensive city, but also has the strongest economy and population growth.The other cities have more moderate economic situations but also way more “bang for the buck” in terms of pure cash flow and lower cost of entry.

If you are using a loanWould you be purchasing owner-occupied or as pure rental?

If looking purely at "what zips are best as rentals" obviously that is a very different question and answer from where is the best place for you to buy and live in a couple years.

On the other hand, pure rentals are more likely to get foreclosed on.
