Visiting Columbus in 2 days, which B to C+ neighborhoods should I see?

[Lucas Anderson]

I'm coming from out of state to visit Columbus for a full day this Thursday June 1st to view different neighborhoods, get a feel for the city, and ideally, take a look at some houses. I'm looking for semi-distressed properties in "up-and-coming" neighborhoods for a classic BRRRR. I've been trying to get ahold of a realtor I chose a few weeks ago to advise me on areas to visit and help set up showings but have come up short with hearing from him, which of course is very frustrating but alas, I come to the Columbus BP community for guidance.

Are there any specific B to C+ neighborhoods you would recommend looking at? I've got $100k cash and lending preapproval - ideally looking in the $115k-$175k range with the idea of adding some renovation value into the home.

Also, if any knowledgable Columbus investors are available this Thursday June 1st for a meetup to shed some knowledge, lunch is on me!

 Hello Lucas! Welcome to Columbus! In that price range I would recommend North and South Linden, Franklinton, Central Hilltop, Far East Columbus (Eastland), and South Columbus (43207). These are developing areas where  you could find a value add property in your price range. If you have any questions while your here don't hesitate to reach out
