I think people are investing in Midwest states, like Ohio, because of cheap prices, high rents, and landlord friendly laws

The ones I have heard of/tested are as follows:Beyond Pricing, PriceLabs - are automated pricing toolsLodgify - is strong in website development (if you want to drive direct bookings) but from what I viewed are not as strong in the management toolsYourPorter - Cleaner communication toolOneRoofTop - decent tool set, heavy lifting, questionable sustainabilityMyVR - expensive but decent tool setBookerville - their customers love them, their technology appears to be old school (so does their name)I too am on the hunt for a solution because I want to become more passive, moving away from the daily grind of working "in" my business so I can work "on" my business. 

Quality over quantity!

I've also added a spreadsheet for me to help me with a little extra organization.Anyway, I highly recommend it as it's easily a net positive and takes almost no time. 

Again, if you are financing the rehab costs then this question becomes highly critical.There is good money to be made in expensive neighborhoods and also in low-cost neighborhoods.

Always request examples of prior work to gauge the quality they deliver.Insurance agents are often overlooked but are integral to safeguarding your investments.

If they don't trust me, they will cut corners another way and the quality of the calls will be terrible.

Any advice to find better deals or get high cash flow?

If this was your primary residence, I would highly recommend selling within 3 years of converting to a rental to maintain the section 121 tax free gain on sale of a primary residence (250k exclusion for single and 500k married).
