@Levi Pollard I like Dayton Ohio for investing. I deliberately chose to remain in this market. The market is diverse enough to do well on flips, and fantastic for rentals.

There are neighborhoods that are severely depressed, so you need to be understand where you are buying.

Flipping is primarily a local activity, so you really need to focus on your backyard for that. I've seen a lot of people try to manage a rehab/flip from afar, and VERY few pull it off.

There are a lot of out-of-town landlords here that do well. The ones that run into trouble generally paid too much in the wrong neighborhood.

@Reuben Stewart I can help you out from Dayton to Cincinnati.

@Engelo Rumora Check out the Toledo REIA when you get to Ohio. A lot of good people there.

@Cleighton W. I do some investing in similar areas in Dayton. You have hit the right concerns for properties in that demographic. Screening is absolutely key. Then understanding you are buying for the cashflow, not the appreciation, should help you understand the properties you are looking at.

Hit me up if you have any specific questions.

@Account Closed You can attend your first GDREIA meeting free as my guest. After that, It's either $15 per meeting, or $150 for the year. http://gdreia.com/join-today/general-members/ Duncan Wierman will be presenting at the next meeting.

@Richard Leu Welcome to BP! There's a lot of good people here. Glad to see more from my neck of the woods.

@Joshua Dorkin a double confirmation would be fantastic. It'd give people with my lack of coordination a second chance.

So my fat fingers accidentally hit "Remove Conversation" on an inbox message.

Is there any way to "undo" that accident?

@Dustin Black Welcome to BP, and congrats on your first project. The first one is always the hardest. We're going to do a local BP meetup in January. You'll be welcome to join us.
