Rehab Qs for South Linden (Columbus, OH) Rentals

Rehab Qs for South Linden (Columbus, OH) Rentals

Member since 2020 · 9 posts · 7 votes

Hi all,

I'm pulling together a scope for a rehab in South Linden. There are a few choices I need to make (below) and would love to chat with someone who owns rentals in the area to help make sure I'm not over-spending for the tenant base in that area.

Target rent: $850-900

1. Granite vs. laminate countertops
2. Re-finishing hardwood vs. LVP 
3. Central AC vs. window units

If anyone is willing to chat over message or has any immediate reactions to the above they'd like to post, it would be much appreciated!

    I'm no expert but I do have friends and family in most of the lower income areas in Columbus.  South Linden is far behind and probably last on the list.  Anything south of Hudson is tough for rentals.  At least for now.  Longterm for sure

    Hi Nathan,

    what do you usually put in your rentals? I do not currently own anything in South Linden but I lived in a property near OSU with AC window units and it worked out fine!

    I would go with things on the lower end, laminate.

    LVP - probably more durable

    Hi all - 

    After speaking with a few people went with the following decisions: 

    1.Laminate

    2. Central AC (with cages to prevent theft) 

    3. Were preserving the original hardware where possible and adding LVP only where needed
