Hey Greg, sounds like you’re getting ready to jump in which is awesome. Cleveland and Akron can definitely have some good opportunities, but I’d also recommend taking a look at Columbus since the macroeconomics here are on fire—huge population growth, strong job growth, and massive companies moving in like Intel, Amazon, Google, Honda, Microsoft, Facebook, and more. I moved here from Portland in 2020 to start investing and now own 10+ rentals, and a big reason is because you can still find solid single families and duplexes in the $120–180k range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow from day one. It’s also super landlord-friendly and has strong long-term appreciation potential. If you’re open to expanding your search beyond Cleveland/Akron, Columbus is definitely worth putting on your radar. Happy to connect and answer any questions you have!
Dude, will you stop? He clearly said Akron and Cleveland. No where in here did he mention Columbus. What you and other spammers do is very toxic to the community and for people who clearly didn't ask for you. I can't stand you and others like you
Can we get "Columbus" shadowed banned? As well as " I moved here from Portland in 2020 to start investing and now own 10+ rentals, and a big reason is because you can still find solid single families and duplexes in the $120–180k range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow from day one.

Columbus is the greatest thing since... ANYTHING!!! HAVE YOU HEARD OF IT??? Portland in 2020, 120-180k, 10+ rentals. Dude I feel like a Vietnam Vet. Can we have a BiggerPockets Bible study?
Watch out @Jimmy Lieu
According to Prophecy, the chosen one @Remington Lyman will join forces with HoltonWiseTV to defeat all of the other Columbus Agents in the battle for Ohio.

There are DSCR loan options for everything from $75,000 and up for the appraised value. Details depending on borrower profile.
More information below on DSCR loans. DSCR loans won't use your income to underwrite the loan.
DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.
Here's a bit more in detail about how rates are calculated for DSCR loans:
1. Credit score- the higher the better. 760-780+ generally gets best pricing for investment property loans with most lenders. From there every 20 point increment affect pricing differently. So for example, a 761 credit score will be in the 760-779 credit category, then going down to 740-759 and so on.2. Loan to value ratio: The higher the loan to value ratio (LTV) is, pricing takes a hit. So your pricing will be higher for a 80% LTV loan than for a 60% LTV loan.
3. Prepayment penalties- usually 1-5 year terms. The shorter the prepayment term has an impact on increasing the rate.
4. Are you cash flowing the property? More on how that is calculated below. Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable). Many lenders will not do a DSCR loan unless cash flowing. If they will do a loan with less than 1, the pricing takes a hit. This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.
I've included an example below to help illustrate this.
So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.
See example below:
DSCR < 1
Principal + Interest = $1,700
Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50
Total PITIA = $2200
Rent = $2000
DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91
Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.
DSCR >1
Principal + Interest = $1,500
Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25
Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300
DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable). If a cash out refinance, many lenders will allow the cash out to satisfy the reserves requirement.
DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC. It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.

Hey Greg, sounds like you’re getting ready to jump in which is awesome. Cleveland and Akron can definitely have some good opportunities, but I’d also recommend taking a look at Columbus since the macroeconomics here are on fire—huge population growth, strong job growth, and massive companies moving in like Intel, Amazon, Google, Honda, Microsoft, Facebook, and more. I moved here from Portland in 2020 to start investing and now own 10+ rentals, and a big reason is because you can still find solid single families and duplexes in the $120–180k range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow from day one. It’s also super landlord-friendly and has strong long-term appreciation potential. If you’re open to expanding your search beyond Cleveland/Akron, Columbus is definitely worth putting on your radar.

Dude, will you stop? He clearly said Akron and Cleveland. No where in here did he mention Columbus. What you and other spammers do is very toxic to the community and for people who clearly didn't ask for you. I can't stand you and others like you

Hey Greg, sounds like you’re getting ready to jump in which is awesome. Cleveland and Akron can definitely have some good opportunities, but I’d also recommend taking a look at Columbus since the macroeconomics here are on fire—huge population growth, strong job growth, and massive companies moving in like Intel, Amazon, Google, Honda, Microsoft, Facebook, and more. I moved here from Portland in 2020 to start investing and now own 10+ rentals, and a big reason is because you can still find solid single families and duplexes in the $120–180k range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow from day one. It’s also super landlord-friendly and has strong long-term appreciation potential. If you’re open to expanding your search beyond Cleveland/Akron, Columbus is definitely worth putting on your radar. Happy to connect and answer any questions you have!
Dude, will you stop? He clearly said Akron and Cleveland. No where in here did he mention Columbus. What you and other spammers do is very toxic to the community and for people who clearly didn't ask for you. I can't stand you and others like you
Can we get "Columbus" shadowed banned? As well as " I moved here from Portland in 2020 to start investing and now own 10+ rentals, and a big reason is because you can still find solid single families and duplexes in the $120–180k range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow from day one.

Columbus is the greatest thing since... ANYTHING!!! HAVE YOU HEARD OF IT??? Portland in 2020, 120-180k, 10+ rentals. Dude I feel like a Vietnam Vet. Can we have a BiggerPockets Bible study?
Watch out @Jimmy Lieu

Hello do you know of any private lenders/investors that have capital to lend to people that find deals and manage the team to get real estate investments done?

If you’re exploring those areas, there are definitely solid opportunities depending on the neighborhood, condition, and strategy you’re aiming for. Plenty of investors start with single-family or small multis to balance cash flow and manageable rehab. Make sure you pair up with people who know the sub-markets well — that tends to make the biggest difference in picking the right block and avoiding trouble spots. Happy to share general guidance if helpful.

@Greg Monterrosa
If you are looking in Cleveland I would recommend being in areas on the West Side of Cleveland like West Blvd, Cudell, Old Brooklyn, Clark Fulton, Edgewater, Jefferson, and Brooklyn Centre. The reason is the rent-to-price ratio is good so you can cash flow, and most of the West side doesn’t have a Point of sale inspection which is really annoying. - 10moAlfath AhmedBusiness MemberReal Estate Agent · Columbus, OH · Member since 2022 · 1k+ posts · 1k+ votes

You should just do cleveland. Way better for cashflow. You can buy good duplex in the west and some parts of the east side for sub $150k and get rents between $1,800 to $2,000 per month.

Cleveland is a better market than Akron in my opinion. You need to consider the neighborhoods when deciding the areas to invest in
