Looking for my first investment property

Felix Lilly
Posted

Hey bp. 

I want someone to help me find a property or apartment that will yield me a return on my investment. I do have some up front capital. I live in Oregon and I am familiar with it here; however which ever state has the best return on invest I am open to the idea of investing out of state as long as it will cash flow. What would all of you recommend? If there are any of you who already own apartment buildings or properties (?) I would love to hear from you! 

Thank you.

Hey Felix, I would check out the Columbus market. It has been booming for the past couple of years with strong job growth and population increase. I personally invest here for both the cash flow and appreciation. I recommend looking into areas near economic bases - close to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ohio State Campus, New Albany, etc.

Most of my clients purchase turnkey investment properties in areas like Old North, Merion Village, Southern Orchards, Old Towne East/King-Lincoln Bronzeville, Driving Park, North Linden, North Hilltop, Franklinton, Reynoldsburgh, and Hungarian Village.

My BRRRR and Fix & Flip Investors like to buy in areas like Eastmoor, Hilltop, Whitehall, and Linden. These areas have appreciated a ton and have seen a lot of growth.
