    In general the neighborhoods in Central Ohio are categorized by the School District they belong. The suburban school districts are ranked higher (anything outside Columbus), home prices are higher, people like to live there. On the flip side, the rents are not that much higher to match the increased price. Hence lower cash flow (at least on paper). That being said, there are pockets of Columbus school district that are highly desirable, but it is very nuanced (one street is good, two blocks away might be bad even if they are in the same zip code)

    The school districts I would say that are A - Dublin, Grandview, Upper Arlington, Olentangy, Worthington - some are more expensive and "prestigious" than others on the list

    B areas -  Hilliard, Westerville, Gahanna-Lincoln, some areas of the following - Southwestern City, Hamilton, Grove Port, Reynoldsburg, Pickerington.

    Try to reach out to some property managers and agents (there are some on BP) to network. Good luck. I don't know of any meetups those days, besides being the July 4th weekend, it may not be the best timing for a meetup - family time, vacation for many :-)
