SPRINGFIELD, OH? Worth it?

Question

What's in Springfield OH? I keep getting offers/investment opportunities from a realtor I know in the area.

Is the juice worth the squeeze there?

I currently own rentals in Columbus, OH

It is an overall affordable area with some decent pockets in the town, so that's why most people are attracted to it at first. As  @Michael K Gallagher had said there isn't too much else there that is driving as much growth. @Carlos Quiros

Carlos Quiros · Answer

that's what I've been told but it's good to ask here from people who are boots on the ground.

Thanks for the insight Brandon!

Hey @Carlos Quiros as far as economic drivers, there is really not much there.  honestly most people that live there likely commute to the west side of cbus for work, or perhaps work at the hospital, but most people I know that work in Springfield live in cbus and just drive.  Like with anything there is an approach that will work, but if your long term plan includes any kind of appreciation, springfield aint going to cut it compared to your cbus investments.

This might be a hot take but I'd rather see someone get a property in the hilltop than Springfield.  At least there is a wave in the hilltop that is rising.
