I have been seeing a lot of talk about Ohio (Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland), so I wanted to reach out for some advice.

I'm in Columbus Ohio and we ahve to build the same floorplan over and over and it's a group heard mentality. we build a three story walk up triplex designed for our infill lots

Everything around the lot is older but the neighborhood is less than 5 minutes away from downtown, hospital and colleges. see this all the time in and around downtown columbus OH, we have frindge areas that are getting rehabbed and flipped like crazy and then the new builds come in. 

Quote from @Travis Cooke: I've been looking at the Columbus and Cleveland-Elyria MSAs in Ohio. 

We’re using a well-known Columbus CPA firm this year and for a similar price the work has been better, and the engagement is night and day improved. 

well there is only one answer to this Columbus Ohio.. full stop.

You'll hear a lot of Columbus, other parts of Ohio, Indiana, etc. 

Hello BP community,Most of the builders do not offer investors opportunity to buy the lots and they claim they are only for primary residence (i;e they will sell only if you are going to live in it (example Ryan homes, Pulte homes etc..) are there any builders out there who can sell to investors for "buy to rent" in Columbus OH?

I started with a house hack when I moved from Portland OR to Columbus OH to start REI.
