 I heard Seattle is pretty landlord friendly

 Ohio overall offers all good options for different market types. You should still buy an owner occupant in your local market always though to use the low money down loans and interest write offs.

I can't speak much about the Pittsburgh area, but I own multiple properties here in Columbus. They're in a Cclass neighborhood, and with my personal experience, I'm seeing cash flow between 8-12%, with strong growth potential

I personally invest here in Columbus and have 4 doors. I'm getting pretty decent cash flow already and look to continue to build my portfolio here. Let me know if you would like me to refer you to your CORE 4 and help you get started

@Christopher Robert Noland Thank you so much for this!

I would go on zillow and just look at the rentals in the area to see how many days they are typically sitting and where they are renting.  At the same time if you are searching for a PM, call them and ask them about the market and the specific area, speak to a few and you will have a good idea.  SA has performed really well for many years and is now naturally easing, albeit there may be some more neighborhood/area specific nuances.  In the long term may still be a great investment, but hard to see a lot upside in the short term.  Texas also tends to have higher real estate taxes, which do go up every year.  At this point if you begin the purchase process you probably closing towards the end of the year, which would put you in the slowest time for rentals.  I would budget 3 months of vacancy at least.
