Columbus Ohio Investment on a Rental
Hi everyone, I am looking into purchasing a buy and hold rental property in Columbus, OH. I am new to real estate investing, and would love some insight on any reputable company that could assist me with this. Any neighborhoods you would recommend? I am from NY, so this would be a long distance rental.

Hi Laura, if you are looking downtown, look at the Franklinton neighborhood. A lot of investment and development is headed that way. For the suburbs, I would look at some of the less costly ones, Hilliard, Gahanna, Obetz.
