Any Ohio Investors - Cincinnati or Cleveland or possibly Dayton

[Stefanie Blackburn]

I am looking at a few different out-of-state markets and I wanted to see if anyone is investing in Ohio at this time?

Looking at Cincinnati or Cleveland or possibly Dayton

Would love to hear your thoughts on the market and also some resources for building a team in the areas

We have been investing in the greater Cleveland market since 1995.  Many strong B and C class neighborhoods in the city proper as well as the surrounding suburbs.  Slower appreciation but relatively strong cash flow.  I suggest that you spend a few days in the area and meet different people before you pull the trigger the first time if possible.  Stay away from the cheapest houses in the worst neighborhoods despite the temptation as they are unmanageable and unpredictable.  My advice would be to hit a bunch of singles before you attempt to swing for the fence. We use Andrew Weiner at Realty Now Property Management in Beachwood for all our local property management.  He's done well for us.  Best of luck to you!
