Hey Josh, I live and invest in Columbus and am looking to expand to Cincinnati as well. I think going with a turnkey strategy is a great option, since you are out of state. It will make it a more manageable investment, having a busy schedule outside of real estate. I'd suggest a B or B- neighborhood due to lower average costs of maintenance and high appreciation. I would be happy to discuss more and talk about some neighborhoods to look into. 

I work at the brokerage Reafco based in Columbus, and we find a lot of off-market deals in the Ohio markets. I would be happy to share some examples in pms. They are a little more tricky as the sellers sometimes want to sell one day and change there mind the other, but when these deals work out, you can buy into instant equity. 

Hey Nikash, I am a young investor as well, based in Columbus, OH. Originally from Florida. I moved up here for the real estate and now I spend pretty much every day finding off-market deals for other investors and myself. I would be happy to hop on a call and discuss what area may be ideal for you guys. 

Hey Graham, 

I can send you some lender referrals that I work with in Columbus. 

Hey Titus, 

I would identify the market that you want to invest in, then find a US lender that does work in given market. I invest in Ohio and live about 6 hours away from Toronto. Personally, I believe there are great investment opportunities here. If you would like to discuss our market, I would be happy to hop on a call. 

I have been getting very immersed in real estate this last year. I would be happy to connect and exchange info! 

I am finding plenty of off-market deals in Columbus, OH. I think Columbus is a great option to consider. Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing into our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon, due to reasons such as lower costs on land, great tax abatement opportunities, and an attractive cost of living for employees.

The cash-flow won't be as high as Cincinnati or Cleveland but in return you will see those high gains in appreciation. 

Cincinnati is a great market. I would love to help you build some connections if you want to step into the market gracefully.

Hey Allen, In Cleveland you can get some good cash-flow with a duplex. ROI would all depend on how good of deal you find and your investment strategy. I think a duplex is great place to start as the larger you go the more moving parts you will have to manage and you will start paying larger costs with commercial zoned buildings.

Hey Savannah,

As for OOS investing you need a boots on the ground team that consists of a realtor, contractor, property manager, and a lender. Once you have this team in place, you should have the foundation to invest in any market confidently while not being there physically.
