Hey Everyone,

I have been looking into the Cleveland and Columbus, Ohio market for flipping. Do you all have any suggestions for areas that are good to flip in?

Thanks,

Tosh

That's great, there are several hot neighborhoods for flipping in Columbus @Anastoshia McCrary ! Southern Orchards, Franklingotn, Merion Village, South of Main are all areas that are seeing a lot of rehabs. 

Even in the outer areas of the Columbus such as Grove City and Canal Winchester there is a strong demand for rentals. If you rehab then make into a rental those are desirable areas to rent. Im sure fix and flip would do well also. Lots of the outer edge cities of Columbus seem to have a huge inventory of homes that need work.

I would second @Zeke Liston areas.  Great opportunity.

Couldn't agree more, grove city is a great place to flip or buy and hold in.

 Cleveland has been great for flipping for a few years now and it has only gotten better. I would stick to the suburbs where the prices keep rising and so is the rent.

Areas are going to depend on your investment criteria. Are you looking for SFH or MUH?

My searching has shown that Cleveland is a tough spot to get a flip property at this exact moment, although I expect that to change once the foreclosure auction opens back up.  The rental market is very strong right now and you might want to consider a rehab, rent, and refinance in Cleveland.  You won't necessarily have the big pay day but you can build some cash flow while identifying key vendors that you can use in the future.  If you are not local I would recommend going through the area with someone who has personally flipped a few houses, neighborhoods can vary vastly from block to block and its worth having a an experienced local investor walk you through some of your top areas.  I personally run most of my properties by a couple friends in the business to make sure that I am not missing something specific to the area or property type.

I agree with the above posts for Columbus. The combination of different rental markets here has provided a lot of opportunity for all types of investors.

@Robert Ellis . Both. Right now, the main goal is to flip to gain cash.

@Anastoshia McCrary

Is there any specific site to search flip options in various markets ?

@Prakash Saraf

I want to answer your question but I’m not sure what you’re trying to ask? If you want to flip in various markets, it’s important to find out different things about that market such as a avg DOM, recent new developments,

Flip options in various markets

@Prakash Saraf

The previous message accidentally sent before I was finished writing it out lol. But you get my drift, search housing statistics for each market you’re interested in to see if flips make sense.

@Francois G.

Hey appreciate your response. What I meant was any specific links where you could find flipping deals

Hey @Prakash Saraf , locally here in Cleveland most of the flips that I see are from foreclosure sales that happens in person only. You can check for online auctions or at the fanny, Freddie, and HUD websites. The best ones do tend to go fast though so be ready to make offers.

The MLS is usually your best bet, especially if you're just starting out.

My 2 cents.... just look for deals. Determine whether it's a flipping deal or a buy and hold deal after the deal is found.
