Local Insight Wanted: Best Columbus, Ohio Areas for Midterm Rentals?

[Melissa Adams]

Hi all - I'm in the research phase as I prepare to purchase my first investment property in the next 6+ months. I'm based in Columbus, Ohio and considering a midterm rental (30+ day) strategy. 

I'm exploring furnished rentals that would appeal to: 

*Airline crew near CMH

*Traveling professionals or contractors working downtown or near hospitals

I'd really appreciate any local insight on:

*Neighborhoods in Columbus where MTRs perform well

*Areas to prioritize (or avoid) for this type of rental

*What tenant types you're seeing the strongest demand from in Columbus

*Platforms or tools that have worked well for you (Furnished Finder, Airbnb, etc.)

Thanks in advance for any advice from those investing in or around Columbus!

I am also looking to invest in Columbus MTR, I run a few MTRs in Cleveland near hospitals that are performing well on Furnished Finder. I switch between STR and MTR seasonally, which has worked well for now. MTR is decidedly less work, and with STRs saturated in my neighborhood this year and the increased need to differentiate in a crowded market, MTR is increasingly attractive. I've had one MTR tenant rent through Airbnb, the rest on Furnished Finder. I've had a mix of healthcare professionals and one relocation. Best wishes! If you'd like to connect I'd be happy to share learnings as I move into the MTR market in Columbus in the next 6 months.
