Researching the Dayton-Ohio market

[Kevin Charles]

Hello all, I am researching a property in Dayton zip code 45410. Can anyone give me any details about this neighborhood, zip codes to stay away from, rents, etc...?

thanks for the mention @Chris Tabanico and I think your assessment is pretty spot on.  The rents you stated are pretty common for a 3BR in that area and if you go sec 8 you can get as much as $900/m.  Your advise of networking with local boots on the ground is key.  Dayton is a very unique place and there are area's in pretty much each local zip code that I would buy personally and areas that I would not.  There is no way for an OOS investor to know which is which unless they have TRUSTED eyes on.
