 I appreciate the feedback. Few places have decent, reliable tenants.

Thanks all. I'll need to get familiar with the housing authority requirements in my target area.

Hello BP'ers! Is anyone cash-flowing or succeeding in the Section-8 market, and if so, what state/county are you investing in? I'm researching multiple strategies and would like some feedback on this one. I plan on investing in a landlord-friendly state and am looking into MTR, LTR, and now Sec-8. 

Hi fellow investors. I'm interested in Columbus, Ohio (Franklin county)/multi-family/mid-term rental as a strategy. I'm doing my due diligence by looking at current data like population growth, significant companies with their HQ located there, etc., and taking virtual neighborhood walks via Google maps. Depending on my findings, I plan on visiting the area before investing. Still, there's nothing like the feedback from locals or investors within that area. How are your investments doing? Were there any surprises after performing your due diligence, and for the locals, what is your take on the mid-term rental in this area? I live in a neighborhood predominantly of homeowners, and an MTR strategy would fail here. However, LTR residential investing could be successful. Thank you so much for your attention and participation.

@Mike Dymski I know this is a factor families look for when shopping for a home, so I agree there are benefits to living in a place with a great school zone.  I no longer have a child in the school system within my town and still paying for his higher education, but I won't lie; I wouldn't mind a little break, either. 

@Vlad B.Thanks. I'm using David Green's book on investing out of state as a foundation for the essentials, clarifying this process. 

@Alex Gunnerson @Bjorn Ahlblad , I agree. I'm doing my due diligence, but I needed help with what to tackle and how to begin. I started reading David Green's book, and it's helping me cover the real estate essentials. This strategy can be used as a blueprint for all out-of-state investments. 

@Rebecca Knox Hi Rebecca. I agree. I'm reading David's book on investing out of state, and it's helping me prioritize and put into chronological order the essential steps. 

@Brian Penter Hi Brian! I'm reading that book now and learning what is essential. Those real estate basics are so important and worth the time to analyze before building a team.
