Newbie realestate - Cincinnati

[Manju Y.]

My name is Manju Yeddanapalli, and I recently moved to the Cincinnati area. I am looking to purchase a 2-4 Family Unit, with a max cost of 300k. I am hoping to gain insights regarding different cash flowing neighborhoods, decent markets, and any other suggestions in regards to finding a multifamily home. All feedback is welcomed and thank you for your help!

Hi Manju, 

Welcome to Cincinnati. My partner and I own a rental property in the Delhi area and it has been a great experience so far. My biggest recommendation would be to drive the neighborhoods and get a feel for each part of the city. Looking at a map, it is very difficult to determine what is a decent area from one you'd want to avoid. For multifamily you could consider Evanston, certain parts of Norwood, St. Bernard & Madisonville. I would start there and then start interview real estate agents who have experience working with investors. 

Good luck! And feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!
