Which areas do you target in Columbus, OH??
Hey Columbus Ohio, Investors I was wondering if any of you would be willing to share areas you focus on for investments or areas you stay away from.
I have been looking around in some lower income areas and even though the numbers seem to work I am not sure it's a good investment given some houses are boarded up on same street as rentals. For instance Linden areas and out near Casino etc. All seem sketchy and not sure I could get a good PM for them.
Wondering what areas you target and which you avoid?
Appreciate any advice,
Rob Fordham
