If Illinois doesn't fit your investment criteria then I'd go with a market that has strong population/job growth, landlord friendly, low property taxes and high rent to price ratios. Columbus, OH checks those boxes

@Alex Johnson

Cleveland is a cashflow market with higher rent to price ratios. Columbus has average rent to price ratios but comes with the growth potential that the tech developments bring (intel, amazon, google, etc).

Buy a turnkey deal on your first out of state investment to take some of the riskier variables out of the equation

Most of the projects still have a few more years. Intel will be even longer because of the sheer size, it'll house 8 chip factories and additional supporting operations over 2,000+ acres. We saw an large initial wave of demand when they chose the site. 

If you already have access to capital you should invest for long term growth. I would buy and hold turnkey rentals, it's better to ease into RE investing and turnkey rentals are going to take some of the riskier variables out of the equation. As you build your team you can start to lean into some heavier rehabs.

Buy and hold in Columbus, OH - much higher rent to price ratio than LA 

I invest in Columbus RE, huge growth to come from recent additions to the tech sector (google, intel, amazon, honda, and many start ups). Plans to were announced last month to invest $2B into the cities airport in anticipation of the population/business travel growth. 

@Ben Hofstra

Job/population growth are key indicators for long term growth. The trick is finding a market that has future growth along with a high rent to price ratio. It's easy to find a hot market. Finding one with positive cashflow is a different story.

Securing your househack now could work if you can time up having one of the units vacant to move into next year. 

@Raj Patel

Columbus, OH has the cashflow AND appreciation that you're looking for

@Ryan Lopez

It's a good time to get in on Columbus! That's where I personally invest

@Illya Kravchenko

The Ohio market has plenty of good options that would fit your buy box. Dayton and tertiary markets outside of Columbus have the cashflow that you're looking for
