I’m originally from Ohio and looking to diversify into the Columbus/Dayton market.I’m targeting stabilized 4+ unit multifamily between $800k - $2M (no heavy rehabs) in Grandview Heights, 5th by Northwest, German Village, and Short North.

From my side working with investors, I’m definitely seeing more activity, but also more collaboration people combining capital and experience to move faster on deals.How about you all  are you finding it easier to get your projects funded this quarter?

Pull a lot of targeted list. 2.

In this market it is easier to ask the seller to pay those.

You can find 2–4 unit properties in the $120K–180K range that hit the 1% rule, which makes it easier to generate positive cash flow from day one.

A great flip on the wrong block becomes a liability.Have your brother drive streets at different times of day and rate blocks A–F for:• pride of ownership• renovation activity• rental comps• safety/foot trafficDon’t analyze houses until you know exactly which micro-pockets you’ll target.2.

🚫 Not worth splurging on:Fancy wall art (most guests barely notice)Premium cookware (unless targeting execs)Expensive rugs or decor piecesFocus on comfort and function — not Pinterest.What’s one item your guests always appreciate that you didn’t expect?

I Try to target turn key properties <225k since i am out of state and work full time.

Deals like that often come with strong underwriting, professional property management, and a team approach, which can make targeting undervalued, multi-tenant properties more manageable.Markets that have been showing opportunity  include Sun Belt cities with growing populations and job markets, as well as secondary metro areas where older properties can be repositioned for higher returns

They are not buy and hold investors- They fix it & flip it for a profit with target ROI's of about 35%2.
