Buying In Ohio

I am looking to buy rentals in Ohio and would love advice, guidance, contacts. etc.  I own rentals in upstate New York, but that city is too small scale my portfolio. Ohio seems to have a similar market, so I just want to connect with investors, agents, and PMs all over Ohio since I’m ready to jump in.

My goal is to buy multiple BRRRRs a month so if any experienced investors would share, I would love insights to avoid or target in regard to build ages, build types, build materials, etc. Lets Connect!!

Hey Steven

Welcome to the Ohio investing scene!

You're absolutely right to be looking here. Ohio has multiple markets that work well for the BRRRR method, especially if you're aiming to scale aggressively. Cities like Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Toledo all offer solid rental demand, affordable entry points, and plenty of value-add opportunities.

We've got a large inventory of older homes across the state, many built between the 1900s and 1950s, which can be ideal for BRRRR if you've got a solid scope of work and reliable contractors. These properties are still selling without issue, especially when the rehab is dialed in and the numbers make sense. Just be mindful of things like knob-and-tube wiring, galvanized plumbing, and foundation quirks that can pop up in older builds.

If you're looking to connect with agents, PMs, or other investors, Ohio’s investor community is active and collaborative. Happy to help you plug into the right networks!
