Columbus Rental Market

[Derek Hanners]

Hello,

I have lived in Columbus for a large majority of my life and I currently have 2 rental properties. I am wanting to buy a few more and I would like to get them here in Columbus but with the limit experience I have I am ... 'worried' I guess is the best word.

My concern is when I look at rentals on zillow the market sees flooded with rentals of all different types and a ton of those rentals have been up there for at least a couple months. I'd think the Columbus market was quickly growing with all the hospital and technology investments happening around the area. Are renters hard to find right now in Columbus? Is Columbus indeed a growing market (Children's Hospital, Wexner Medial, Intel, and other investments)? Or should I look in another location?

Thanks in advance.

Derek

I like Columbus. Compared to other markets in the US, it is still affordable to get a multifamily. I don't think the appreciation is done either, so there is still growth to buy into.
