Hi Aqsa,I'm bias but then again, I've owned real estate all over and haven't found a better market for sub $100,000 than Toledo.Low entry price pointHigh cashflowEmployed tenants that pay rent onlineDecent areas with well kept homesNot much appreciation so IMO it's a strict cashflow play.If you find and buy off-market you can snag some great deals for sub $60,000 purchase and rehab.Quality of workmanship is the downside and so is motivation of other folks needed to make investing from out of state work.So beware.These are the downsides bit like with any market, you will always have pro's and con's.All the best 👍
