Cities with SFH under 150K

[Yoni Meth]

Hey All,
I’m currently investing in Columbus, OH, and generally happy with the market, but I’m looking to expand into another area where single-family home prices are more in the $100–$150K range.

My criteria:

• Strong cash-flow potential (ideally close to the 1% rule).

• Reasonable appreciation upside.

• Population growth and a diverse job market.

• Normal/Reasonable property tax rates (nothing extremely high that kills cash flow)

• Neighborhoods with acceptable crime levels, preferably C and above, avoiding high-risk “D” areas

If anyone has experience in markets that fit this profile, or recommendations for cities/markets worth exploring, I’d appreciate your insights.

Thanks!

Hey Yoni! 

The type of deals you are looking for are mostly in Cleveland and Dayton. Some single-family houses in Columbus might be able to meet your criteria but it will be uncommon. I have rentals in Columbus and Dayton. Look forward to chatting.
