Multi family in Hamilton, Ohio (Cincinnati)

[David Rutledge]

Hi Everyone,

I have been looking to buy some multi family properties in Cincinnati. I have found a few that I really like but they are located just outside of Cincy in Hamilton, Ohio. 

I am going to take a look at them but I have never been to Hamilton and I was hoping I may be able to get an insight or advice from some people on here who may invest/know the area.

I am looking at these properties as buy and hold long term rentals so my main concern is the rental market in Hamilton. Can anyone give me any insight into the rental market for multi family (2 units) in Hamilton.

Any advice from people in the know would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.

David

Hey David;

At Joe Fairless' BP Meetup this past Tuesday, some of the guys from Hamilton mentioned that the Hamilton City Council is going to war with landlords, particularly with landlords who own property where police/fire are regularly dispatched. 

I would compare Hamilton to Fontana. California.  (Fontucky). 

Hamilton is actually in Butler County. Cincinnati is in Hamilton County. They are completely different animals.

Good Luck
