Best and worst areas to Invest in, Columbus OH

Hello everyone,

Starting to look at some duplex fixer uppers (the uglier the better) in Columbus, OH. I am an out of state investor, planning on going to Columbus within the next 2 months. I wanted to get some feedback from people that live in Columbus, and/or are investing there currently as to the best areas to look at. Areas to stay away from?

Thanks,

David

@David Hernandez as @Remington Lyman said, it really depends on your strategy and return expectations. The duplex market in Columbus, OH is very competitive in A,B,C locations, but theres always opportunity at various rates of return. Personally, I invest in lower return areas that I know are more stable (thus less maintenance) and build a solid equity standing over time. I also try to stay within the outer belt as close to downtown as I can.

Happy to chat and discuss the market here if interested. Good luck!
