Buying & holding SFR in Akron Ohio

Hello Everyone,

My name is Gil, and i am new to real estate investing. I did my research and decided to invest in Akron and Barberton OH. My plan is to start out by purchasing SFH, in a C class (and above) areas with a budget of $100k all in. and continue with that strategy after completing my first deal. Can anyone provide me with some tips ?

Any special or unusual RE rules i should be aware of at this local market? What are the best neighborhoods to invest in buy & hold?

What are the worse areas that i should stay away from?

I would love to connect with some local agents and wholesalers that are investor friendly and invest themselves in this local market.

I appreciate any help and thank you.  

Gil Ben.
