Dayton rental properties around Wright-Patterson Air Force base.

[Valden J Ellis]

I’m from Idaho Looking for buy and hold rental properties in Dayton.  Just bought my first investment properties ever a 3 bed 2 bath home in new Lebanon west of Dayton and a 3 bed 1 bath in the Shiloh area.  Just waiting to get title and rehab and find renters. Now looking for my next deal. I would love to find Dayton’s “sweet spot” for best cash flow, appreciation potential, in quality neighborhoods where tenants take good care of the property and wondered if renting to Air Force personnel might be a good strategy.  Do any of you guys with Dayton experience have any advice on this strategy?  And what sub markets would be best to focus on or steer clear of?  For instance, is Huber Heights close enough to attract air force personnel?   And are there sub markets within Fairborn that would be best, or to stay away from?   Thanks for any advice I’m a sponge for knowledge.
