Where to invest in Ohio??...

[Brandon Sturgill]

This question comes up a lot and there is no right answer...Ohio is the 7th most populous state in the country...we have 3 major metropolitan statistical areas (MSA's) with over 2 million people each in Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati...and 3 large secondary markets; Dayton, Toledo, and Akron...all hold opportunity. That said, I wanted to share some detailed information and reports on each city:

Interesting post. I think most will find that no matter what market they choose they will do well. If they're looking for cheaper properties and want to scale faster, especially with multifamily, I think choosing a smaller market like Toledo or Dayton makes more sense than someone who already has more wealth and looking for more appreciation in markets like Columbus and Cincinnati.
