@Oryan PeerCincinnati has some solid pockets that fit what you’re looking for, areas like Pleasant Ridge, Norwood, and Oakley have been great for flips thanks to strong buyer demand and steady appreciation.

The buyer would hold what is referred to in most states as “equitable” title.  

The buyer had a home inspection done prior to closing. 

Not all buyers are the same.And in 2026, it’s critical for realtors to understand the difference.Too many agents are still grouping wholesalers and buy-and-hold investors together.But they’re not the same — not even close.Wholesalers are deal finders.They’re looking for assignments, spreads, and fast movement.They rarely close these days because of the horrendous duplication of gurus.They rarely buy and hold because of their personality.

Looks like a good opportunity, but if it sounds too good to be true - then it's probably Hometown Buyers Club lol.

Need to protect name of buyer  No, you in fact dont need to protect the name of the buyer.

We are educating our buyers on the buildings and what it takes to be a landlord so there is no cold feet. 

The title is not always clear and auctions don't always provide a warranty deed that lenders and some buyers like to see.

I would probably get a buyers agent to represent you in the transaction. 

If we are using a HML, assume the project will take 3 months longer than you thought it would and you can always be pleasantly surprised but not desperate to sell when the timeline bites you.
