Hey Dan, if you're focusing on cash flow, check out Cleveland and Dayton. Cleveland offers 3-7% appreciation and 10-18% cash flow, with strong rental demand. It’s home to the Cleveland Clinic, one of the top hospitals in the country and Case Western. Dayton has similar appreciation but shines with 10-18% cash flow and steady rental demand. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything!

Hey Bob, which market are you looking to purchase in? I recommend reaching out to a property manager for your Section 8 inquiries. The inspection requirements can vary, but properties usually need to meet their safety and livability standards. Let me know how I can help

If you are looking into Section 8, I recommend you check the Columbus market. Any C-class neighborhoods are more geared towards Section 8 and long term renters. Let me know how I can help Nakul!

Hey Ola! Congrats on getting into real estate investing. I'm excited for you!

If you're eyeing some promising cities, Ohio has a few standouts. Columbus is great for appreciation, with values climbing 7-17%. It’s also got decent cash flow around 8-12%. The city’s buzzing with major projects like Intel’s $20 billion plant, Google’s three data centers, and big land buys from Amazon and Meta. So, if you’re looking for long-term growth, Columbus is worth a look.

Cleveland is another solid choice with 3-7% appreciation and strong cash flow between 10-18%. It’s home to the Cleveland Clinic, one of the top hospitals in the country, and Case Western Reserve University, making it a hotspot for steady rental income.

Dayton offers a similar appreciation range of 3-7% but shines with cash flow at 10-18%. With the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton Children’s Hospital, and a bunch of universities, there’s a steady demand for rentals.

Each city has its perks, so it really depends on whether you're after appreciation or cash flow. Hope this helps and good luck with your investments!

Hey Corey, I’d recommend starting with a turnkey cash flow rental. It’s a great way to get a feel for being a landlord while building your trusted team.

If you’re focused on cash flow, the Cleveland/Dayton area is worth considering. For appreciation, the Columbus market is a strong choice. Columbus has seen significant growth, especially with tech giants like Intel, Meta, Amazon, and Google establishing operations and driving up property values and job opportunities.

I can send you a list of contacts in Ohio to help you build your team and find a property manager. Let me know how I can help!

Hey Tracy! I know you're into flips, but I’d suggest starting with turnkey properties for out-of-state (OOS) deals. Once you’re familiar with the market and able to build your team, then you can dive into value-add properties. Since you're already thinking about OOS, why not look for cash-flowing multifamily (2-4 units) in a growing market? Areas with good rental demand and upcoming developments can give you solid returns. Plus, with your tenant experience, scaling up with more units under one roof makes sense! Let me know how I can help!
