Absolutely! Great market, fast growing and excellent purchase price to rent rate ratio. If you are looking in Ohio, definitely check out the Cincinnati/Dayton area as well.
Bryan,
I will definitely check that out. That's definitely more of what I'm looking for as a first time buyer, lower purchase price for a decent house and make rental income from it. Ohio seems to have great potential.

@Andrew Ivory Columbus (as a city) is not comparable to Cleveland or Cincinnati...it's like comparing a Corvette and a Minivan...as a metro area, things even out a bit. So, yes, there are deals to be had in the larger geographic areas of all 3 cities...and even in the sub-markets. I think the fundamental question is what are you after...it sounds like long-term stability...and there are a host of underlying factors that contribute. You just need to find an area that matches your expectations.
Brandon,
I am after stability, as of right now I'd like to make income from rentals. Since this would be my first house, I want to start small around the 60k range with at least 20% down. From what I've seen in Ohio, I could get a decent house in that price range that wouldn't require much TLC. However, it looks like those types of houses are becoming rarer in Columbus.

I am certainly not a pro like you folks but I do believe that real estate is a solid investment and Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland look like great places for a first time investor. I would love to connect with you all and learn from you at the least because I definitely have a lot to learn.

Hello everyone,
I am very new to investing in real estate and looking to make my first plunge/investment. I've been told for years that Columbus is a great city to invest in. Is Columbus, Ohio a good place to start investing in real estate? Any info helps.
Thanks
