Best places to BRRRR in Columbus, OH??

[Brent Fosner]

Ohio has come up a lot lately. My family and I live in Nashville, so OOS investing in Ohio seems like a good place to start since it's relatively drivable. I'm specifically looking for insight on Columbus. What areas are people looking at? Specifically, where are the B neighborhoods in the path of progress? I'm looking for single family and duplexes for BRRRR investing.

Thanks so much!

There are a lot of good neighborhoods to BRRRR in. I'd advise more closer to the B-/C+ neighborhoods where rent to price ratios are a bit better. But regarding B class neighborhoods that's where I primarily invest and do my BRRRR's (I own 15 units in B class Cbus now) and they are very hard to find good ones.

The B Class neighborhoods are Merion Village, Old North, OSU Campus, Franklinton (south of broad, north of sullivant, east of glenwood), Hilliard, some areas in Worthington, Sharon Village, 5th by Northwest, Old Town East/King Lincoln, Berwick, etc.

The B-/C+ class neighborhoods that are more gentrifying and rapidly changing are Southern Orchards, Hungarian Village/Reeb Hosack, South of Main, North Linden, other area of Franklinton (non-nipple), Eastmoor/Broadley, etc.

I also have a map that better breaks the neighborhoods down by rent ratios, pricing, and crime.
