Investing in Ohio or another state?

[Katja Jeschke]

How is the real estate investing market in Ohio?

I was looking to possibly invest in a rental property there.

I also just heard of a lot of newbie real estate investor traps going on there and would like some advice on maybe who or who not to work with?

Also, what other states would you recommend investing in (if any)?

I'm looking to buy a single family home or duplex around $50k that I can fix up for around $10k-20k, refinance, and make a rental cash flow profit along with appreciation over time. Basically using the brrrr process.

Thanks for all your guys' help! <3
