Hi @Amanda Roderick, thank you for the warm welcome! Right now I think I will hold off in Columbus area and try to focus on Northern OH. However maybe when I head out we can meet and you can show me around to see what is available in that market! Thank you!
Sounds good, I'll be here when you're ready! :)

@Kevin Moules, Welcome to BP and the RE investment world! We have a ton of out-of-state investors buying up properties here in Columbus. The market is hot right now and prices are a bit on the higher side compared to even just a year ago. However, there are definitely still deals to be had, especially if you're willing to take on a property in need of renovation. I'd be happy to set up an MLS search for you if you want to start seeing what we have coming available - feel free to message me for more info. Also would be happy to show you around if you make a stop in CBus! I've lived all over the city in the nearly 20 years I've been here and have been an investor since 2014.
Best of luck to you wherever you begin your investment journey!
Amanda

Hello Investors,
We as a team are planning to invest in multi family homes in Columbus Ohio, we want to start looking at newsletters and articles around real estate news in Columbus, Ohio region. Any good recommendations ??
I agree with @Austin Steed though prefer Columbus Business First. There is a free membership option but the annual subscription isn't too high and then you gain access to all breaking news and their Book of Lists. https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus
I've lived in Columbus for nearly 20 years and have lived all over the city. Best of luck with your investments here!

Lots of the homes are >100 years old. So they have a small number of bathrooms for a large number of adults. Some of the college students double up. From where I sit having addition bathrooms is one of the biggest selling points. A 5 bed 3 bath would be a rare find. Usually the ratio of beds to baths in the area is 3:1.
Am I wrong in this? The less sharing the better when it comes to bathrooms for college students right?
@Eric Hart I don't have any rentals on campus; however, I worked for several years in real estate market feasibility for large multifamily projects and 2 of those years I was nearly exclusively analyzing student housing projects. It is definitely the trend for new builds to have ensuite baths for each bedroom so I agree with you that additional bathrooms are very valuable in the student housing sector. Feel free to message me if you want to talk more about student housing and good luck adding that bathroom if you do take that project on!
