Hello everyone, My name is Andrew Wathen and I am looking to transition out of the Navy and move up to Ohio in about a year.

@Jake WarrenHi Jake, you can do a lot with 100k here in Cincinnati, OH , definitely opportunities for 2 properties if you're feeling froggy enough... let me know if you are interested! 

@Jason CarrilloI would say Ohio could be a good place to start.

Oh it's definitely present in other areas too!

Before you know it you will have multiple cash flowing assets in SoCal that are appreciating way more than a house in Indiana or Ohio or wherever else you are seeing this cash flow. 

Oh..

This must be a VERY rural area, as in the worst areas in OH we get 700- 800 for 1 brs  this is not a good deal , I wish him well. 

I am currently located in Newark OH, and I'm targeting 4-unit multifamily projects in the greater Columbus area.

You can also consult with lenders, brokers and ask them for suggestions on who might be a good real estate mentor most will be able to provide one.Since you plan on entering the market of multiple cities all over the country, I'd suggest for you to look into the Ohio market specially Cleveland.

Oh, see if your area has a program called EDEN, we use them as well.
