Columbus, Ohio - Buy and Hold Rental Properties??

[Josh Madruga]

Hello BP Community,

I'm a REI out of Central California, with multiple SFH invested locally. I am looking to make the jump to start investing out of state I've been researching a few different cities across the country and Columbus, Ohio keeps popping up. The prices look pretty good from afar, and the other demographics look pretty solid (job growth, population growth, crime decrease, etc)

Is anyone out there buying and holding in Columbus?? Just wanted to know if the quality of homes that are listed online are good investments, or is everything that's cheap in really rough neighborhoods..  What neighborhoods/suburbs are you having success in, and are you buying single family homes, or multi family. Thanks guys!
