New to BP, would anyone know management companies in Columbus/Cin

Member since 2020 · 6 posts · 5 votes

Hi everyone,

I recently have gotten into real estate by teaming up with some experienced investors, and I chose Columbus as my focal market. I currently have a few properties that I have my eye on, and before I take a deep dive into them, I want to know I have a good management team behind me. Could anyone give me recommendations on property management companies that they have had success with in the past? We mainly do large multifamily properties that are typically B,C class value adds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

We could manage between 80 and 100 units. Over 100 and you're looking at on-site property management which is a totally different model, and there are only a few companies in Columbus that do it. Two that I suggest talking to for 100+ unit properties are:

-Oakwood Management

-Link Real Estate Group

I have a list of managers that I can refer you to. I highly recommend @Donny Thompson from ERA or @Mitch Deminski from S4RE. @Peter Lohmann seems solid as well but I have not done any business with him yet.
I have a list of about 30 managers in Columbus, Ohio

What size, let me know if you need any other recommendations.

Thanks Peter, the current property we are looking into is slightly over 100 so I will give them a call. I very much appreciate the help!

Hi Robert, Thank you for the reply. Most of the deals we do are usually of the size of 80+ units. We are currently looking at three property management teams, including the two Peter gave us and Abbeyhill property management. However, the more options we have, the better chance we have at finding the best one, so if you have one or two more recommendations that would be a tremendous help for us. Thanks again and look forward to hearing from you.
