With the numbers you shared, flipping could be a solid move: buying at $465K, investing $200K in rehab, and targeting an $825K ARV.

I’m personally in the Cincinnati area, born in Dayton, but do not invest there at the moment.I’ve heard solid feedback and experiences from Bridgestream Property Management.I hope this helps in your management search

Let me know if you have any questions for meWhat neighborhoods or zip codes in Columbus are best for appreciating SFR's that cash flow enough to pay for their own upkeep, and which attract solid tenants who stick around a good 5-7 years? 

In some cases, if the ARV is outlandish or the change in value is rapid and extreme (ex: purchasing for $100k last month, appraising for $500k thirty days later), it may need to be supported by a CDA or evidence of repairs/upgrades. 

However, the good news is some lenders are open to working with first-time flippers, especially if the deal looks solid.

@Staci Kou I feel like @Will Gaston's advice is pretty solid here.

In addition to the solid list from Joshua, Typically LLC costs.

Get detailed quotes on these to ensure it’s cost-effective.Zoning & Permits: Verify that your current property allows additional homes and meets zoning requirements for multiple units.Rental Demand & ROI: Assess demand for singlewide rentals in your area to confirm it’ll be profitable after all expenses.If everything checks out, these could be solid additions to your portfolio.

To minimize risk and build a solid foundation, I'd suggest starting with a single-family home or a 2-4 unit turnkey property.
