Which cities do you invest in OHIO? & Why?

Recently heard that state of Ohio is a good place to invest if you are looking for a cashflow market. With some many cities to choose from in OH, where does one go about picking the right city to lay the foundation? I've heard good things and bad things about each of the major cities. 

For example, while pop is moving out of Cleveland, the city is dominated by medical and tech industries and the prices are still reasonable. Columbus has been blowing up and becoming a very competitive market in recent months. Cincinnati is also following its footsteps and seems like more people are moving there as well.

I know that maybe it's better to just pick a market and go with it, but wanted to hear any local investors willing to share their experience to why they invest in that area.

I recommend you read this article on OOS investing. It explains the importance of creating your core four. You will need to get a local, rockstar Realtor, contractor, lender, and property manager.
