Hello members,

I am new to real estate and looking for some insight into the location in Ohio to invest. Thanks

 It really depends on your price but I will recommend Columbus or Cincinnati/Northern Ky. I believe Columbus and Northern Ky share more attributes (population growth, jobs, etc) than Cincinnati, but I would like to say there is more cash flow in Cincinnati. Cincinnati has kept a stable population

@Dhanya Geetha
I would recommend Columbus, OH. It's a solid hybrid market of cash flow and appreciation. Columbus has lots of job opportunities and population growth. It’s great for investing from out of state since it’s landlord-friendly and has a low barrier of entry and cash flows. You can get deals that meet the 1% rule. If you don't care about appreciation at all you should look at Cleveland, OH. Cleveland has a bit higher cash flow than Columbus in exchange for the appreciation.
Thanks for the inforamtion @Patrick Drury

Hi Dhanya, I personally love Columbus Ohio and as someone who works with a lot of out of state investors - there's so many catalysts for why you should invest here. Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy). I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years. Plus, there's still so many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here in Columbus Ohio. As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!

 Welcome to Ohio!

Columbus is growing quickly. Companies like Intel and Amazon are investing billions into the city. Dayton and Cleveland have good cash flow. Washington Court House Ohio is an area I expect to grow as well because Honda is building a multi-billion dollar battery plant there. 

@Dhanya Geetha

This will depend on your personal goals!

I personally invest in Urbana OH and Columbus OH. Anything in Urbana I'm looking for much more of a CoC return, as appreciation isn't going to be as strong as Columbus will be.

I’ve found that people have the best success when they have laser focus on one area. The broader the search the more overwhelming things can feel.

Hey Dhanya, Columbus and Cleveland are good markets to look into. The cost of homes are low and the rents are strong in Cleveland, so there's lots of opportunity if you're looking for cash-flowing deals. Columbus is more of a hybrid market with a mix of cash-flow and appreciation. If you're looking for a long-term investment that will appreciate over time, Columbus would be a good market to look into. There are tertiary markets as well that you might be interested in, but it also depends on your investment strategy. Best of luck!

Good morning, what is your search criteria, method to invest? etc. I would recommend defining the major markets in ohio (Columbus, Toledo, Cincinnati, Dayton, Cleveland / Akron) by their MSA locations. I'd talk to agents and housing trends in each area, see where and who you feel comfortable with. A little bit more active but if you spend 5 hours (1 on each city) on calls you'll walk away with a lot more information than you have right now.
