What state/cities would you recommend for our state rentals?

Hello, I’m looking to start my rental portfolio with out of state rentals. Few questions that have.

-What cities or state specifically would you recommend for out of state rentals? 
-what metrics should I consider when looking at property or when selecting location?

Hey Karim, I'd suggest researching the Columbus and Cleveland Ohio markets. The Cleveland market is a strong cash-flowing market with low cost of entry and strong rents. The Columbus market is also a strong hybrid market with a blend of cash-flow and appreciation. Columbus is a rapidly growing with many new and existing companies expanding their business in the market. If you're looking for cash-flow and appreciation, Columbus might interest you.
