Canton, Oh Properties and Connections

[Leah Weisel]

Just purchased an 8 unit apartment in Canton, Ohio this past week. Looking to purchase additional multi-unit buildings and flip homes. Interested to know who else is active and what you are investing in in Canton, Ohio. What’s everyone’s thoughts on cash flowing strongly in a rough part of town versus just breaking even in a nice neighborhood?

Hello Leah. I have a duplex in Canton and have three more properties due to close next week in Canton. My Ohio properties are actually scattered around Akron and the surrounding areas. My property manager and realtor are based up in Akron. So I have very limited experience in Canton (6 months with a duplex), but it has been excellent so far. I know I am buying for cashflow in Canton and not appreciation. How did you find the 8-unit?
