Columbus, Ohio. Where to invest?

Question

Hello, I am new here and new in real estate investment. I am trying to find my first rental property in Columbus, Ohio. I am thinking of a single family house at around 55k ~ 60k.

Would I be able to get any suggestions about which areas would be good to take a look at (zipcodes)?

Robert Ellis · Answer

i'd look in 43207, 43211, 43224, 43213, 43068, 43205, and 43203. You should look at multifamily more than single family is my advice for columbus especially if you want cash flow. for 55k the benefits of buying a single family don't really outweigh buying a duplex for the same price.

@Robert Ellis Thank you very much for your info. I will definitely look into those area. And I also agree that multifamily would bring more cash flow. Thank you for the advice!
