Since you're planning to buy your first multifamily unit, I suggest looking into markets that have great macroeconomics with growing population and jobs just like Columbus OH.

Great markets here in the midwest.

You want to look at anything on the market to get the experience.

Looking to network with wholesalers ,realters and contractors in San Antonio ,Austin,Houston  markets.

Look at their marketing strategy.

Congrats - we are seeing a ton of activity in Rochester recently, seems like the market is doing well

To list on the MLS, you will need a POA signed by the seller, which states that you can sign on behalf of the owner for listing documents and offers, as well as a signed purchase and sale agreement with an assignability and marketing clause."
