Why Use Ohio Data?

Real estate investing is hyperlocal. National averages for property tax, insurance, and vacancy rates can be wildly misleading when underwriting a deal in Ohio. The OH effective property tax rate is 1.59%, which translates to $0/year on a median-priced Ohio home at $0. That single line item can be the difference between positive and negative cash flow.

Homeowners insurance in Ohio averages $1,200/year. Failing to account for OH-specific insurance costs is one of the most common mistakes new investors make when running numbers remotely. Ohio has below-average insurance costs.

The Ohio vacancy rate currently sits at 7%. Plugging in a generic 5% vacancy assumption when the actual market runs at or below that level will roughly match your projected income. This calculator pre-fills OH data so your analysis starts from reality, not assumptions.

Can I use custom numbers instead of the pre-filled defaults?

What is a good cap rate in Ohio?
In Ohio, cap rates typically range from 5% to 8% depending on the market and property class. A cap rate of 7%+ is generally considered good for single-family rentals, while 5-6% is common in more competitive metros. The statewide median price of $0 and median rent of $1,150/mo give a rough indicator.
How is cap rate calculated?
Cap Rate = Net Operating Income (NOI) / Property Value x 100. NOI is calculated as Gross Annual Income minus Vacancy Loss minus Total Operating Expenses. This calculator handles all the math automatically.
