Does it make since to invest out of state while I’m still renting the roof over my head?I live in Florida where the market is pretty pricey.And so I thought I should invest out of state (like Dayton Ohio) for a good cash flow.Or should I house hack here?Im so confused and I’m ready to take action.

@Joanna Laguerre If it was me, I'd double down on the Florida market. 

Florida is a much stronger and faster-growing market than Ohio. 

I live in Chicago and plan on doing a lot of my investing there. 

There are places in Florida that are pretty affordable outside of the major cities - have you considered, say Ocala?
