Ohio, I’d suggest also looking at Columbus as you build your network—it’s one of the strongest markets in the Midwest right now with rapid population growth, tons of job creation, and huge developments like the $26B Intel plant plus expansions from Amazon, Google, Honda, Microsoft, and more.

Columbus is still super affordable (you can find deals in the $130K–$180K range that hit the 1% rule), and it's growing fast with companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, and Honda pouring billions into the area.

Since you mentioned Cleveland, I’d also encourage you to take a look at Columbus, Ohio—very similar affordability but with stronger long-term fundamentals like rapid population growth, big employers moving in (Intel, Amazon, Google, Honda, Microsoft, etc.), and still plenty of properties in the $120–180K range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow with professional management.

Columbus is one of the strongest markets in the country right now with population growth, job growth, and companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Honda moving in, so investors are locking in solid cash flow plus great appreciation upside.

I found the one point website (which looked more professional than others I came across) and I found your comment in bigger pockets, which I was not a member of at the time, when I googled them.

For example, in Columbus, Ohio you can still find properties in the $120–180k range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow, and the long-term story here is really strong with population growth, job growth, and big players like Intel, Amazon, Google, Honda, and Microsoft moving in.

Use tools like:Airbnb Analytics: Monitor impressions, clicks, and overall CTR.IntelliHost: Analyze your listing for category placement and CTR improvements.RankBreeze: Track your listing's performance and ranking changes.You can also A/B test your photos by rotating lead images or running Meta Ads (Facebook/Instagram) or Google Ads to measure which photo drives the most engagement.The Airbnb algorithm is continuously evolving and every host should pay attention as new features are rolled out. 

The cheapest option isn’t always the best long-term partner.Reputation: Check Google reviews and their overall online presence.References: Ask to speak with a current client to hear their perspective on working with the company.Referrals: If you know people locally, see who they recommend—good PMs usually have a strong community presence.Hope this helps as you narrow down your options!
