Investing in Dayton OH

[Tanisha Blakemore]

RE agent, I currently reside in IL and interested in potentially investing in the Columbus or Dayton areas. Can anyone provide any insights, best areas to invest and PM.

Whats your goals with investing? They are going to be two very different markets. Dayton is going to more cashflow heavy with less appreciation if any and Columbus will be the opposite @Tanisha Blakemore

[Austin McClain]

I've seen investors succeed in both. Dayton has more cash flow - and Columbus has a higher predicted appreciation rate

 What are you looking for? Both cities have great areas to invest in. Are you looking for more cash flow or more appreciation?

[Samuel Diouf]

Columbus is a great choice if you're planning on holding for the long term.

Hey Tanisha, welcome to BP! I like starting in the Midwest because it's affordable and offers good cash flow. Following David Green's Core 4 strategy (realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender) gives confidence to invest anywhere. I focus on Columbus, Ohio, which has seen significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google setting up operations, driving up property prices and job opportunities. I also invest in Cleveland and Dayton. Let me know if you need assistance!

Thanks everyone so much for your insight! I'll be visiting Dayton next month...Are there particular areas that are best for investing? I would like to ride around and get more familiar with those neighborhoods.

 Hey Tanisha, I own properties in both Columbus and Dayton. There are certain pockets that you want to invest in. Happy to share a neighborhood graded that I created with a few other agents.

It really comes down to what you're aiming for. If you're aiming to get more cashflow, Dayton would be a good choice. On the other hand, if your focus is on appreciation, Columbus is the place to go. The good news is that Columbus has seen significant improvement across the board. With distinct A, B, and C areas, there aren't any truly bad neighborhoods for investment. In fact, you could almost pick any spot on a Columbus map and find a promising location.

Is Xenia a good market or is it too far away from Dayton?

 Can't say for sure as I'm not familiar with Xenia - I've worked with multiple people that ended up buying in Dayton and it seems to be a similar market to some areas of Canton, which is where I personally invest.

Columbus is a great market for appreciation and some cashflow, with all the major investments by large companies happening here. Dayton is great for cashflow and more affordable than Columbus. It's in a great location, with a new Honda plant being built nearby and being only an hour from Columbus and Cincinnati.
