Fix/Flip or BRRRR
Hello BP friends,
Hope you’re all doing well!
I have a quick question for the group — I'm looking to get back into BRRRR or fix & flip projects and was wondering what states you all think have good potential right now?
I’ve done a couple of fix & flips in the Atlanta area over the last few years, and recently started exploring the Florida market. I’ve been focusing on South Florida, but I’m having a hard time finding solid deals — especially anything close to the 1% rule for rentals. On top of that, finding a reliable GC has been a challenge.
Lately, I’ve been hearing that Tennessee and Ohio might be good markets for both rentals and fix & flips. I’d love to hear your thoughts — are those worth exploring even if I’m not local? My main concern is managing the project remotely and trying to find a trustworthy GC in a new area.
If anyone has experience in those markets or has recommendations on where to look next, I’d really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!

Hey Shayan! Great question — and welcome back to the game!
I’d definitely encourage you to give Ohio a strong look. I’m based in the Columbus area, and the market here has a great balance of appreciation and cash flow. It's still possible to find BRRRR and flip opportunities that make sense financially, and you can get a lot more value compared to more saturated markets like South Florida.
Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati each offer different dynamics. Columbus is growing fast with a strong economy, Cleveland has great price-to-rent ratios and solid inventory, and Cincinnati’s a nice blend of both. And yes — you can find deals that come close to or hit the 1% rule here.
Totally understand the challenge of doing this remotely. Having a solid Core 4 (agent, contractor, PM, and lender) is key. If you’re able to build that out or partner with someone local, managing from a distance is definitely doable. Happy to share some insights if you’re seriously looking into Ohio!
