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.
