Columbus Areas to buy Multifamily
Hello Columbus Investors/owners,
My partners and I are looking to target 30-100 unit buildings in Columbus and would love some direction on the best neighborhoods, as well as where to avoid. collectively, we have done all in NYC, and are looking to venture out of The tri-state.
Happy to connect and hop on a call to discuss.
Thank you all in advance,
Jason

Every investor, agent, or resident will have their own opinions on the neighborhood grades. I think B and B-/C+ neighborhoods are the best for long term buy and holds because they have stable cash flow and appreciation. Some people prefer the more C class neighborhoods for stronger cash flow and more exponential appreciation (which I don't think is sustainable long term but who knows as affordable housing becomes in such demand).
Some of the neighborhood grading from my personal opinion is below:
