What Drives Rentals In Columbus

In Hilltop and Whitehall as much as Clintonville, we are open to buildings with deferred maintenance, below-market rents, or occupancy problems.

Columbus Seller FAQ
Is Columbus a market you actively buy in?
It is. We review Columbus apartment buildings of five or more units, with particular attention to Clintonville, Hilltop, Reynoldsburg, and Whitehall.
Who rents apartments in Columbus?
Tenants in Columbus are tied to Ohio State University and state government, new semiconductor manufacturing investment in the region, and insurance, finance, and logistics employers. That mix is a big part of how we evaluate occupancy and rent potential.
Do I need to fix up my Columbus building before selling?
No. We price in deferred maintenance, vacancy, and below-market rents ourselves, so you can sell the property as it stands.
Do you work with Columbus brokers and agents?
We do. Agents can bring us listed or pocket-listing deals in Columbus, and we keep every conversation confidential.
What should Ohio sellers know about property taxes?
Ohio assesses property at 35% of appraised value, with reappraisals every six years and updates every three. A recent sale price can also be used by the county to set value, so we underwrite post-sale taxes.
