Hello fellow investor! It's great to see your enthusiasm for real estate in the Dayton/Kettering/Columbus areas. These regions offer a variety of opportunities, and many investors have found success there. Dayton has seen steady growth in its real estate market, making it an attractive location for real estate investors. It's considered a relatively affordable market with opportunities for both flipping and rental investments. Building a local network is essential. Reach out to local real estate investor groups or forums to connect with experienced investors in the area. They can provide valuable advice, share their experiences, and potentially partner on deals. 
As for realtors and professionals in the area, consider reaching out to local real estate agencies, and you can also use online platforms to find real estate agents.
I do contracting work and very familiar with the are you are looking for. Let me know if you need any help.

Hi there! If you're considering a closer market for your first flip where you can be more hands-on and have the option to drive 2-4 hours to inspect the property, but you want a location outside of Las Vegas, Columbus and Dayton could be a potential option. Ohio, offers a balance of market stability, affordability, and accessibility that may align well with your goals as a first-time flipper. It's important to conduct thorough market research, build a local network, and gain a good understanding of the specific neighborhoods within Columbus to make an informed decision. Columbus's real estate market could be a promising choice for your upcoming flip, allowing you to be hands-on while benefiting from a growing market. If you have specific questions about properties in Columbus or need further guidance, feel free to ask, and I'd be happy to assist you

Hello

I'm looking to invest in a STR/MTR in the Columbus area. Not a local, but have experience investing in LTRs/MFs elsewhere. Looking to start to build a team, but first would like to get a sense of the market and good areas for the STR/MTR in Columbus?

Thanks in advance

Ben

Hi y'all! I've decided to take the leap into the small multi-family rental investment world and would love to meet some folks doing the same inthe DFW area. 

I currently own one condo rental unit that I rent out to mid-term tenants (mostly travel nurses), which has been great, and have another property that will soon have a room rented to mid-term tenants as well. I'm happy to answer any questions anyone might have on that front!

While I'm keeping my eyes open for the rare multi-family unit that pops up in DFW, I’m also looking in San Antonio and a few spots in the Midwest. 

Looking forward to connecting with other BP members online and in person!


Hi Kevin! Glad to hear you're considering the Midwest! Ohio is worth looking into as it is home to the vibrant cities of Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. These cities have been experiencing steady population growth, job growth, and a relatively low cost of living, making them attractive places to invest in rental properties. Additionally, Ohio has landlord-tenant laws that are favorable to landlords, providing them with more rights and protections.

Personally, I focus my investments in Columbus, as it has a strong history of impressive appreciation and is expected to continue to do so in the future. This is largely due to major companies such as Intel, Honda, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and Wexner Medical Center investing heavily in the area, creating numerous job opportunities. If you're interested in learning more, please don't hesitate to let me know how I can be of further assistance!

Post: Top 5 Markets for the Perfect Balance of Cashflow and Appreciation

Quote from @Logan Francavilla:

I am going to purchase my first investment property sometime later this year, and my research has pointed me to 5 different markets for a good mix of cashflow and appreciation:

Columbus OH

Memphis TN

Indianapolis IN

Kansas City MO

Oklahoma City OK

Anyone have any feedback on these different markets? Do you see a good balance of cash flow and appreciation coming from these various cities? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!


Hi Logan! Columbus Ohio does offer a combination of both cashflow and appreciation. This is largely due to substantial investments made by major corporations like Intel, Honda, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and Wexner Medical Center in the area. A growing economy translates to increased job opportunities and population growth, which can drive both rental demand and property appreciation. Population is increasing by 0.75% annually and there is a 3.58% yearly increase in employment growth. Rent prices in Columbus have also increased by 6% each year.

If you're interested, please let me know how I can assist you further. My team and I also have a good infrastructure in place for out of state investors (i.e. connections to contractors, property management companies, lenders etc.) I would be delighted to discuss this topic with you in greater detail!
