Hello fellow BPers and Cincy REIs!

A complete "newbie" that is trying to educate myself on buy & hold, as well as the local Cincinnati/N KY markets.  I was interested on getting feedback on how some people might rate (A, B, C, etc.) the neighborhoods around the city.  I realize that individual investing strategdy comes into play here, along with other variables. For the sake of a standard, let's say we're rating on a long term B & H strategy, looking for cash flow/equity build, any appreciation is a bonus.  I guess I'm trying to gauge my perspective and rating versus more season veterans and see where I'm at.  I'm concentrating my scope on the I-71 corridor and some neighborhoods near there.  Any feedback and info is appreciated! Please feel free to voice your opinion.  Look forward to getting to know more BPers and local connections!  Thanks!

My take:

Walnut Hills - B+

Norwood - C

Silverton - C+

Pleasant Ridge - B

Hyde Park - A

Oakley - A

Mt. Lookout - A

Columbia Tusculum - A

Kennedy Heights - ??

St. Bernard - C-

Welcome!  I'm a newbie myself but have found that people are incredibly helpful here!
