@Jamal King certainly agree with narrowing the focus to one asset class or investment strategy.

We focus on the Quad Cities and Davenport, IA in particular, for this asset class.

Columbus in particular is still a great market to invest for cash flow and appreciation hybrid, it’s just harder to find deals that cash flow handsomely.In Columbus you can find 1% rules in B-/C+/C/C- neighborhoods with a little bit of work, but to find those in A/B class now is not a realistic expectation for a new Oos investor.Overall you should find a good investor friendly agent in your market you want to invest in and have him/her start sending you deals.

@Jay Curley I currently own some properties in Jacksonville, there's not many large multi's that are not c- and below class. 

Hey Gio, I'm in the same boat, ha. 

I teach university classes and you should see some of the people that manage to get accepted - it doesn't give you a lot of hope for the future. 

Hey Antonio, im kind of in the same boat as you.

What class of real estate interests you the most?

You are in NY, you have roaches, and if you rock the boat too much the tenants will go to a tenants advocacy and you will lose a lot more money than the deposit.

Property out-of-state would be ideal to be in an area that would yield quality tenants so probably looking for something around B-class that still offers good passive income.
