Wholesaling + Flipping in Cincinnati?

[Akshay Vig]

Hi,

I'm new to BP and real estate investing in general. I'm looking to get started by doing some wholesale deals, and then doing my first flip. I'm very interested in the Cincinnati market. I've been there twice (flying there again soon) and checked out some of the up and coming/ transitioning areas such as OTR and Fairfax to get a feel for them. According to a few realtors I've spoken to there, those areas are very popular amongst investors. I understand there's a lot of buy and hold investors in Cincinnati, owning many rental units. 

For those of you who have wholesaled/flipped in Cincinnati, I'd love to hear from you and gain some insight on what the market's like for wholesaling/flipping. It would really help me decide whether it's the right market for what I'm trying to do.

Thank you.

The market is Cincinnati is good for wholesaling and flipping, I've done some of both this year.  I will tell you that there are a lot of wholesalers in Cincinnati as there probably are in most larger cities.  I could see it being difficult to wholesale and find deals if you're not local, but then again I've never tried wholesaling remotely.  Best of luck to you!
