Columbus market is a little out of my price range, but I was thinking about investing in the Newark, OH area. 

Hi @Chris Heeren,I've mostly looked at Multi Family - 2-4 units but am open to single family homes and small apartment buildings depending on the price range. 

So will more inventory hit the market in 2025, probably, but the key is, is it quality STR inventory hitting the market. 

Review all househack/multifamily listings that come on the market so you can get a sense of the inventory. 

Look for Single family house in the range of $200-$250k.  

It feels more negotiable than before. 2-3% is the range I see.

Nice places in the $250-350k range then several in the $150-175K range that either look updated or like it needs to be renovated.  

Hi Brian,Fellow Triad investor hereYou’re right that multifamily inventory in this area is lacking.However, I think there are plenty of non-multifamily properties in the Triad that are conducive to house hacking. 

My partner and I own a portfolio of STR's here as well as do flips and mainly work with fix and flip investors.Right now in the market we're seeing 50% of sales coming from the $350k-$550k sales price point and another ~25% of sales coming from the $1.8M-$3.5M range.

Hello Sharad, I would suggest that you consider what you get for the price range which you are purchasing and visit a few neighborhoods to determine your preferences.
