Canadian looking to invest in US market

Real Estate Agent · Edmonton AB, Canada · Member since 2026 · 1 post · 13 votes

My business partner, Jatinder Singh, and I are coming from Edmonton, AB, Canada to Cincinnati and Cleveland to purchase cash-flowing buy-and-hold rental properties.

My name is Jasjeet Raikhi. I own 5 long-term rentals and 1 short-term rental, manage 50 long-term single-family rentals, and also manage about 10 short-term rentals in Edmonton.

Jatinder is also a real estate investor and owns 4 cash-flowing rental properties in Edmonton.

I’m also a member of WealthGenius by Alfonso Cuadra, and we’re now looking to expand into the U.S. market with the right local team.

We’ll be flying into Cincinnati on May 29, 2026, and will be exploring multiple Ohio markets including Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Akron, and Dayton over the following days.

We’d love to connect, learn more about your current opportunities, and discuss how we might work together in these markets.

Curious what property types and tenant classes you guys are seeing perform best right now in Cleveland and Cincinnati? We’ve been analyzing a lot of Section 8 and workforce housing data lately, and some submarkets seem to have a pretty big spread between Class B/C cash flow and appreciation.

    Sounds like you guys are coming in with a strong foundation already, especially managing that many rentals in Edmonton. Ohio is a smart market to explore right now because each city has a different balance of cash flow, appreciation, and tenant base. Cincinnati and Columbus tend to attract more appreciation-focused investors, while Cleveland, Akron, and Dayton still have some really strong cash-flow opportunities if you buy right. The biggest thing is having the right local team because that’s what makes scaling remotely smooth once you start acquiring multiple properties.

    Hi I must say strongly that you’re considering a solid choice at a time when you are set up in Canada already. I was born in Canada, if Canada is good for real estate, then is the US excellent. Make sure to set up the right team of people to be able to scale up a nice size portfolio there

    Hey Jasjeet, welcome to BP and sounds like you and Jatinder already have a really solid foundation coming from Edmonton with both the ownership and management experience. I think you guys are making a smart move looking at Ohio right now, especially if your focus is long-term cash flow and scalability. Cincinnati and Cleveland can definitely produce strong numbers, but I’d highly recommend spending extra time looking at Columbus while you’re here too. The macroeconomics are honestly hard to ignore right now with major population growth, job growth, and huge companies expanding here like Intel, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Honda, Microsoft, LG, Nationwide, and Anduril. What makes Columbus stand out to a lot of out-of-state investors is that you can still find properties in the roughly $120k–180k range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow, while also having really strong appreciation potential long term. The landlord laws are also much more investor-friendly than a lot of other states, which helps a ton when scaling remotely. Sounds like you guys already understand operations and management at a high level, so I think the biggest thing will just be finding the right submarkets and building a strong local team on the ground. Happy to connect and answer any questions you have!

    Hi Jasjeet. I got the chance to meet the WealthGenius team a few times. Good group of people. I actually live close to Thomas Lorini. I have a fantastic team of people that you can work with in Cincinnati/Dayton. I know you have already visited the area recently. But if you want another source of properties, let me know and I can put you in touch with them.

    Hi Jasjeet and Jatinder,

    Welcome to Ohio. It sounds like you both have a strong investing background and a solid management operation in Edmonton.

    I'm Leo Carter with Journey Home Group here in the Cleveland market. Our team works closely with both local and out-of-state investors, helping them identify cash-flow opportunities and navigate acquisitions, renovations, property management, and long-term portfolio growth.

    Since you'll be touring several Ohio markets, I'd be happy to be a local resource while you're here. We have strong relationships with contractors, inspectors, property managers, lenders, title companies, and other boots-on-the-ground professionals that investors typically need when entering a new market.

    If Cleveland or Northeast Ohio is on your list, I'd be glad to connect, share market insights, and help you evaluate opportunities during your visit.

    Safe travels, and enjoy your Ohio tour.

    Leo Carter
    Journey Home Group

    Hi @Jasjeet Raikhi! Welcome, and congratulations on building such a strong portfolio and management operation in Edmonton. Managing 50 long-term rentals and multiple short-term rentals gives you a level of operational experience that will translate well as you expand into the U.S. market.

    Ohio is a popular choice for investors seeking cash flow, and I think your approach of visiting multiple markets before deploying capital is smart. Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, Akron, and Columbus all have different fundamentals, tenant bases, and growth drivers, so getting boots on the ground will be valuable.

    One thing I’d recommend is spending as much time evaluating the local team as the properties themselves. In my experience, the quality of the property manager, agent, contractor, and lender often has a greater impact on long-term results than the specific deal.

    I’m a real estate agent based in Memphis and work with out-of-state investors building rental portfolios. While Ohio offers some great opportunities, many investors also compare markets like Memphis because of the strong rent-to-price ratios, landlord-friendly environment, and established investor ecosystem.

    Wishing you and Jatinder a successful trip. If you ever decide to explore opportunities outside Ohio or want to learn more about the Memphis market, I’d be happy to connect and help however I can.
