Hi there! If you're considering a closer market for your first flip where you can be more hands-on and have the option to drive 2-4 hours to inspect the property, but you want a location outside of Las Vegas, Columbus and Dayton could be a potential option. Ohio, offers a balance of market stability, affordability, and accessibility that may align well with your goals as a first-time flipper. It's important to conduct thorough market research, build a local network, and gain a good understanding of the specific neighborhoods within Columbus to make an informed decision. Columbus's real estate market could be a promising choice for your upcoming flip, allowing you to be hands-on while benefiting from a growing market. If you have specific questions about properties in Columbus or need further guidance, feel free to ask, and I'd be happy to assist you

Hi there! I'm familiar with both the Cleveland and Columbus markets, and I'd be happy to help you gain some clarity on which might be the better choice for your rental property investment goals. Each city has its own unique dynamics, and the choice depends on your specific investment strategy and preferences. Let's connect and schedule a call to discuss your goals and dive deeper into the pros and cons of both markets. Feel free to message me with some times that work for you, and we can set up a time to chat. 

 Hey Benjamin, I just sent you a DM! 

Hi Kevin! Glad to hear you're considering the Midwest! Ohio is worth looking into as it is home to the vibrant cities of Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. These cities have been experiencing steady population growth, job growth, and a relatively low cost of living, making them attractive places to invest in rental properties. Additionally, Ohio has landlord-tenant laws that are favorable to landlords, providing them with more rights and protections.

Personally, I focus my investments in Columbus, as it has a strong history of impressive appreciation and is expected to continue to do so in the future. This is largely due to major companies such as Intel, Honda, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and Wexner Medical Center investing heavily in the area, creating numerous job opportunities. If you're interested in learning more, please don't hesitate to let me know how I can be of further assistance!

Hi Logan! Columbus Ohio does offer a combination of both cashflow and appreciation. This is largely due to substantial investments made by major corporations like Intel, Honda, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and Wexner Medical Center in the area. A growing economy translates to increased job opportunities and population growth, which can drive both rental demand and property appreciation. Population is increasing by 0.75% annually and there is a 3.58% yearly increase in employment growth. Rent prices in Columbus have also increased by 6% each year.

If you're interested, please let me know how I can assist you further. My team and I also have a good infrastructure in place for out of state investors (i.e. connections to contractors, property management companies, lenders etc.) I would be delighted to discuss this topic with you in greater detail!

 Hi Dror, I just sent you a DM!

Hi Carla! I'm not so sure about the other markets but i know the Cleveland and Toledo markets are particularly promising for real estate investments.

Cleveland offers a range of opportunities for investors looking for decent cash flow. The city has undergone significant revitalization efforts, resulting in a growing job market and a thriving downtown area. Cleveland's affordable housing market makes it an attractive destination for renters, ensuring a steady stream of potential tenants.

Toledo, on the other hand, features a stable and diverse economy, driven by industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, and education. Toledo's low cost of living and affordable real estate prices make it an excellent choice for investors seeking properties below $100k.

Hope this helps and if you're interested, please let me know how I can assist you further. I would be delighted to discuss this topic with you in greater detail. Best of luck on your real estate journey!

 Hi Lucas, glad to hear you're considering Ohio! Ohio is truly worth considering, as it is home to vibrant cities such as Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. Cleveland is renowned for its robust cashflow potential. I prefer to focus my investments in Columbus though, as the city has experienced a noteworthy surge in property values which is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. This is largely due to the substantial investments made by major corporations like Intel, Honda, Nationwide Children's Hospital, and Wexner Medical Center in the area, generating a wealth of employment opportunities. Population is increasing by 0.75% annually and there is a 3.58% yearly increase in employment growth. Rent prices in Columbus have also increased by 6% each year. In addition, Ohio's laws governing landlord-tenant relationships are generally advantageous to landlords.

Hi Tiara! Thank you for sharing your situation and goals. Given your financial position and desire for passive monthly income and equity growth, investing in multifamily properties can be a smart strategy for you. Multifamily properties offer the advantage of building equity through property appreciation and paying down the mortgage with rental income. Over time, as the property appreciates, your investment can accumulate substantial equity. With your savings capacity and potential for property improvements, you can also add value to the units and increase rental rates over time. Financing options for multifamily properties are often more favorable than those for commercial properties. With your credit score and income, you may be eligible for competitive interest rates and loan terms.

You also mentioned that you prefer to be hands-on which is great because your involvement can help you learn about property management, maintenance, and tenant relations, and potentially improve your skills as an investor.

Hope this helps and feel free to reach out should you have questions. Best of luck on your real estate investing journey!
