I personally invest in Dayton and am local.  If you would like to get together in person when you are in town let me know, and I'll help anyway I can and could probably show you some of my rentals and talk numbers to give you an idea of what is here.

@John Andrews good for you getting started.  Your numbers are very similar to mine so I think you are doing good deals.  I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for in the future but if you want to chat sometime give me a shout and I'll be happy to help anyway that I can or share with you what I'm doing.

@Brandon Ross  I sent you a pm introducing myself.  If you want to chat in depth feel free to reach out.  I think @Darrin Carey and @Gordon Starr are both spot on.  If anything they are being a little conservative in their numbers from what I'm getting personally but that's a good thing.

@Mica Moore you ask some really good questions and are understandable from someone who is not from here.  As many mentioned above it is because of cost of living and inflation.  I'm a local investor in Dayton but not originally from here.  I moved here 14 years ago and stay only bc of the RE.  Our economy here is VERY strong with no signs of slowing down.  The houses are older but as a buy and hold investor myself I can assure you that with proper budgets you can't make more money anywhere else in the country (I've looked).  It is easy to get double digit returns even after accounting for repairs.  If you want to chat in private I'd be happy to give you a deeper look into things.

@Ray Johnson

a good opportunity is in the eye of the investor. I personally never did invest in the B neighborhood bc 10% ROI doesn't get me excited at all. I understand for many parts of the country that is amazing especially at the low price points we have here in the mid west. As far as zip codes or neighborhoods here in Dayton that is hard to say in general because there are good and bad parts of almost any of them that I'd take or avoid.

@Kevin Charles

to reinstate what I was saying in PM, see Darrin's last comment - good luck to you

thanks for the mention @Chris Tabanico and I think your assessment is pretty spot on.  The rents you stated are pretty common for a 3BR in that area and if you go sec 8 you can get as much as $900/m.  Your advise of networking with local boots on the ground is key.  Dayton is a very unique place and there are area's in pretty much each local zip code that I would buy personally and areas that I would not.  There is no way for an OOS investor to know which is which unless they have TRUSTED eyes on.

There's always a lot of chatter in the forums about Ohio and Dayton specifically with good reason.  I myself am not native to Dayton but moved here 15 years ago and stay and invest here because of the tremendous opportunity.  I literally could go anywhere as I have NO ties to Dayton but honestly it doesn't get any better than this.

If anyone wants to talk specifics shoot me a PM with questions and I'll do my best to help  

Like @Darrin Carey said, we need more information before we can speak intelligently to your question.  Start with things like an address, what's the purchase price, how much rehab do you think it needs, and what is the purpose of the investment?

There are plenty of good investors in the area that will likely chime in and give you insight, and there are probably an equal number of bad investors that will try and pawn crap deals off on you.  Your job is to give the details and then decide which advise is accurate.

If you want my $.02 feel free to send me a PM and we can chat
