New Investor Seeking Multifamily Insights
#2 Multi-Family and Apartment Investing Contributor
I am a new investor from California researching multifamily opportunities (2-4 units) in Columbus. I have been analyzing properties and learning about the market, but I'd really value some local insights from experienced investors, agents or property managers.
I'm particularly interested in Clintonville, Hilliard, Northwest Columbus, and Worthington area.
Would love to learn:
- Which of these areas do you prefer for buy-and-hold rentals?
- Any neighborhoods I should add to my list?
- What's realistic for cash flow in today's market?
- Common mistakes to avoid as an out-of-state investor?
Happy to share what I learn as I go. Appreciate any wisdom you can share.

Hey Andrew, I invest in Columbus for cash flow and appreciation. It is near economic hubs like Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Ohio State Campus, and New Albany.
Turnkey properties are popular in Old North, Merion Village, Southern Orchards, Old Towne East, Driving Park, North Linden, North Hilltop, Franklinton, Reynoldsburg, and Hungarian Village.
For BRRRR and Fix & Flip, consider Eastmoor, Hilltop, Whitehall, and Linden. These areas have seen significant growth.
