Im a Florida investor interested in the Ohio market.

[Frankie Perez]

I’m looking for a new market to buy and hold properties were the rent meets the 1% rule or close to. Any broker or realtor in Cincinnati that can shed some light in this subject? Much appreciated.

I can’t speak specifically for Cincinnati, but there are definitely areas in OH where this is attainable. I invest in Canton and am at 2.5%+ on all properties.

Every market in Ohio is different. I have a map that a couple of guys and I within my brokerage put together that shows the different areas in Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Cleveland, and Toledo. It shows areas by rent growth and appreciation.

Cincinnati is a cash-flow market over appreciation. Columbus is more known for its appreciation. Let me know if you have any questions about the different markets here.

@Alfath Ahmed please send me that map I'd like to review it. how recent was it?

I would recommend looking at Columbus OH. You can get good cash flow and solid appreciation at the same time. Columbus has a lot of job opportunities and population growth. Especially with Intel coming to Columbus as well as Hyperion, which is a company that makes hydrogen fuel cells. That's just to name a few companies coming to Columbus there are a lot more. On top of that Columbus is home to the HQ of Chipotle, Wendys, White Castle, L-Brands, and Hunnington. Columbus is also home to OSU, which constantly develops real estate, employs lots of jobs, and attracts students from the US and internationally to attend. On top of all of that, it boasts one of the best college football teams Ohio State Buckeyes, which is very well known and has a cult following, and attracts a lot of people to the games.

Hi Frankie, I personally recommend that you look into Columbus Ohio and as someone who works with a lot of out of state investors - there's so many catalysts for why you should invest here. Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy). I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years. Plus, there's still so many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here in Columbus Ohio. As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!

If cashflow is the goal, and Ohio is the target, I suggest Dayton or Cleveland/Akron over Cincinnati if you are trying to focus on a single city. 1% properties exist in Cincinnati, but not as much compared to the others I recommend.

 Cincinnati, Dayton, and Cleveland should have the most cash flow but you can find some great cash flow and appreciation hybrid properties in Columbus. Be careful on the C/D class "cash flow hamster wheel" where you turn over the units every 6 months due to evictions, and have them sit vacant for a while waiting for good tenants, and have to keep fixing them up to attract decent tenants.

 I see a lot of discussion about Cleveland. If you're looking into Cleveland you'll want to give
