OTR, Downtown Cincy, & MFs

[Account Closed]

Hi Cincinnati BP community! I'll be relocating to Cincinnati in January for a new position. I'm interested in potentially house hacking while I'm there. I'm also open to investing in MFs in OTR or Downtown Cincinnati.

With that in mind, what areas would you all recommend for house hacking (with special attention to proximity to downtown since I'll need to get to work reasonably quickly)? Likewise, is the MF market strong in Cincy? I know that not every place favors multiple units that aren't large apartment properties. Finally, how are the residential areas near/around downtown? I'm aware that some places may be on a street by street basis, but generalizations are welcome too!

Oh, and if anyone can recommend local REI groups/meetups/networking opportunities, I'd appreciate it!
