Cincinnati & Dayton - Multifamily

[Kenneth Fung]

Hi all -- Wanted to thank Biggerpockets community for all the help and advice so far!  This is my first post.  :)

A friend and I are making a trip to Cincinnati Feb 8-10.  We've bought in other cities but looking to learn more about this market.  Interested in multifamily in C+ or better neighborhoods to buy and hold.  Our primary objectives are to familiarize ourselves with the area (it's our first time) & make some local contacts (particularly property management companies and brokers).  A few questions...

1) What neighborhoods do you recommend in Cincinnati?  From the forums, was interested in a few such as Northside, Avondale, Hyde Park, Norwood, and Pleasant Ridge.  Are there others to add or reasons we should avoid the ones mentioned?

2) What neighborhoods do you recommend in Dayton?

3) Are there property management companies you recommend in Cincinnati or Dayton?

4) Are there brokers that you recommend in Cincinnati or Dayton?

Thank you for all the help!  Looking forward to your thoughts!
