    EP 024 | Winton Woods Rents $1,900, Oak Hills Rents $1,643: What School Districts Tell You About a Portfolio

    Ian Cruz and Slocomb Reed just closed on a 100+ unit portfolio of single-family homes and duplexes in Greater Cincinnati; under LOI in January 2026, managed under a master lease since May, closed in early August. No guest this week: just the two of us on the three biggest things this deal taught us after walking every property. Slocomb starts with the three perils of neglect: routine maintenance that becomes five-figure capex when deferred. Tree trimming that becomes roof and gutter replacement. Drainage that becomes foundation reinforcement. Slow drains that become failed subfloors and joists. We inherited all three and negotiated the discount to fix them. We would have paid more and asked for less had the previous operator spent hundreds a year instead of leaving us tens of thousands in work. We also cover how we underwrote the HVAC refrigerant transition: R22, the R410A phase-out, and what R32 and R454B mean for replacement cost at this scale. Then Ian walks through rent by property type, bedroom count, and school district. The headline number: $1,473 average across the single-family homes; is close to useless on its own. What matters is the divergence: districts where appreciation outpaces rent growth, and districts where rent growth outpaces appreciation. That split decides which houses get renovated and sold to first-time home buyers and which stay rentals. We name districts on both sides of the line, including several that have not come up in 20 episodes. What you will learn: Which school districts are appreciation plays and which are cash flow playsWhy Cincinnati Public Schools cannot be analyzed as one districtHow Madisonville and Forest Park changed under owners still operating with a 2005 mindsetHow we structured the deal to begin managing three months before closing Follow @thecincyreishow and leave a five-star review.

    EP 023 | Vacant Since 2000: Gil Richards - How Historic Tax Credits Saved Northside's Kirby School

    Gil Richards is the VP of Finance and Development at Lauk Properties, which controls $55 million in Greater Cincinnati real estate. He started as a multifamily broker in January 2020, weeks before COVID hit, and has spent five years watching downtown Cincinnati go through a full cycle of pandemic-era demand collapse and recovery. Gil breaks down how tax abatements and historic tax credits work for Cincinnati investors in 2026. We cover the difference between the two, who should pursue each, and why the sub-four-family abatement process is more accessible than most new investors assume. We also walk through a real example: the Kirby School in Northside, vacant since roughly 2000, purchased by the city following the Great Recession, and brought back to life using historic tax credits as the core piece of the capital stack. Gil explains what made the building's rents of a dollar a square foot economically impossible to fix without that incentive, and what the registration and application process actually looks like. We get into what's changed downtown since 2020, the Connected Communities plan and its roughly 20% reduction in entitlement timelines, and why Cincinnati's difficult-to-develop-area status downtown means most projects still need public commitment beyond a standard abatement to pencil. What you will learn: The difference between property tax abatements and historic tax credits, and who should pursue eachHow the Kirby School in Northside used historic tax credits to overcome $1/sq ft rentsWhat qualifies a property as historic for tax credit purposes in OhioHow Connected Communities changed setbacks, parking requirements, and permit timelinesWhy downtown Cincinnati's DDA status still requires public commitment beyond a standard abatementWhat's changed in downtown Cincinnati's residential demand since 2020 If this episode gave you a clearer picture of how tax incentives shape what gets built in Cincinnati, share it with someone who needs to hear it. 📲 Follow @thecincyreishow on your favorite podcast platform so you never miss a conversation like this one.

    EP 022 | 30 Years of Population Growth: Why John Casmon's 2021 Deal Still Won

    John Casmon has raised capital and operated $150M+ in apartment deals as a general partner. He breaks down why multifamily fundamentals never really change, what separates a submarket that survives a rate shock from one that doesn't, and how a deal bought at the 2021 peak still delivered strong returns while comparable deals elsewhere sold at a loss. John walks through the Florence, Kentucky deal that outperformed its cycle: an 81-unit townhome community in Boone County bought in 2021 and sold at the end of 2025. We cover why Boone County's 30+ consecutive years of population growth mattered more than any macro headline, how the Amazon cargo hub announcement at CVG changed the calculus years before it opened, and why single-shared-wall townhomes behave more like single-family rentals than garden-style apartments. We also dig into what happened when the rate cap hit, why the $5,000/unit renovation budget ballooned to $12,000-$13,000/unit, and how the property went from a $200 projected rent bump to $700-$800/unit once the real business plan took shape. John covers the leasing shift starting around August 2024, the turn-schedule trap of chasing vacant units instead of staying ahead of them, and why prior buyers' Section 8 assumptions turned out wrong. If you're figuring out which Cincinnati/NKY submarkets deserve attention in H2 2026, John's take on the Montgomery Corridor and his JusticeMap.org walkthrough are worth it alone. He shows how to read census-tract income data to catch what a 1-5 mile OM radius will never tell you. What you'll learn: Why Midwest multifamily avoided the distress that hit Sun Belt and Southeast marketsHow to evaluate a submarket using population growth data before looking at a dealWhy townhome-style duplexes can outperform garden-style apartments in a soft marketWhat actually happens operationally when a rate cap gets hitHow to read JusticeMap.org census tract data for income gaps an OM radius missesWhy Montgomery Corridor, Norwood, NKY, and Butler/Warren Counties are getting attention in 2026What separates an investor who reacts to the market from one who sets the pace on rents Follow @thecincyreishow on your favorite podcast platform so you never miss an episode.

    EP 020 | $30K to $1.3M: The Rate Cap Spike That Blew Up a 2021 Deal, With Joe Fairless

    Joe Fairless co-founded Ashcroft Capital, whose apartment portfolio has grown into the billions, and built Best Ever CRE into the longest-running daily real estate podcast, with roughly 50 million downloads. He started this Cincinnati meetup 11 years ago. Now he's back to talk about what halfway through 2026 looks like for multifamily operators. In this episode, Joe breaks down why Ashcroft sold two deals for a loss last year, the first time that's happened after 26 profitable exits from 2015 to 2021. We cover the domino effect of buying at 2021's low cap rates with floating-rate debt, why maturing loans are forcing sales now, and how supply, not just rates, drove the downturn. We also get into why the Midwest has weathered this cycle better than the Sun Belt. Cincinnati cap rates were already close to today's interest rates, and the metro held positive rent growth while Sun Belt markets went flat to negative on a supply glut. Joe covers where Class A, B, and C multifamily stand right now and why Class C has almost no active buyer pool right now, which he sees as an opportunity. Worth the listen alone: Joe walks through a deal where the cost to renew a rate cap on a floating-rate loan went from $30,000 to $1.3 million as interest rates rose. What you will learn:-Why Ashcroft sold two deals for a loss after 26 straight profitable exits-How a rate cap renewal went from $30,000 to $1.3 million and wrecked a pro forma-Why Cincinnati and the Midwest are handling this downturn better than the Sun Belt-How Class A, B, and C multifamily are trading differently right now-Why there's effectively no buyer pool for Class C deals right now-How rising syndication stigma is changing capital-raise conversations-What the Best Ever Inner Circle growth system does for operators If this episode gave you a clearer read on where multifamily stands in 2026, share it with someone who needs to hear it. 📲 Follow @thecincyreishow on your favorite podcast platform so you never miss a conversation like this one.

    Ep 019 | Forcing Appreciation + Leverage: Slocomb Reed's Framework for Scaling Without Cash

    In this solo episode, Slocomb breaks down what he calls the Infinite Real Estate Glitch: the two components that remove the ceiling on how much real estate you can acquire, fund, and execute on. It's not a get-rich-quick pitch, it's a dozen years of reps, mistakes, and relationships distilled into a repeatable framework.

    EP 018 | Mainstrasse, Ovation & the Licking River: Garth Kukla's NKY Neighborhood Breakdown

    Garth Kukla spent nearly a decade wholesaling in Northern Kentucky full-time, and by the end, he wasn't doing any outbound marketing. A 19-year sales background, a reputation for never losing a deal he got under contract, and a network built on generous referral fees turned his operation into 100% inbound by 2021. He knows Covington, Newport, Bellevue, and Dayton the way most investors know their own street. In this episode, Garth breaks down what Northern Kentucky real estate actually looks like on the ground: How to read Covington's pockety neighborhood dynamics, where Mainstrasse Village's value effect actually stops, and why Newport has completely transformed since Ovation broke ground.We also map the ripple effects into Bellevue and Dayton, including flood zone considerations buyers often miss, plus the wholesaling mindset that made Garth's operation work, from his one-question seller qualifier to why shrinking his team made him more profitable. If you've ever wondered whether Northern Kentucky is worth adding to your Cincinnati investing strategy, Garth's street-level breakdown is the clearest picture you'll find anywhere. What you will learn: How to read Covington's neighborhood pockets and avoid overpaying based on a seller's inflated zip code logicWhere Mainstrasse Village's value effect actually ends and what's happening just south of itWhy Newport real estate has surged since 2016 and how far the Ovation effect has spreadWhat's driving Bellevue and Dayton appreciation, and what flood zone exposure looks like in those marketsThe one qualifying question Garth used to cut unqualified sellers in under a minuteWhy telling a seller they'd make more with a realtor is one of the most effective closing tools in wholesalingHow Garth transitioned from full outbound marketing to 100% referral-based deal flow by 2021 📲 Follow @thecincyreishow on your favorite podcast platform so you never miss a conversation like this one.

    Ep 017 | Izzy Ong: 100% Court Win Rate: How TLP Handles Evictions Without Losing Tenants

    Izzy Ong has processed evictions every single month as Director of Operations for TLP Property Management. She built the system that handles delinquency from day one of the month through setout day, and TLP has a 100% success rate in front of Hamilton County magistrates. In this episode, Izzy and Slocomb walk through the exact TLP eviction process from first contact before rent is late through the moment a bailiff's deputy is standing at the door. We cover how automated outreach and human-to-human tenant relations work together, why posting a three-day notice should never be a surprise to the tenant, and how rental assistance organizations fit into the timeline after a filing. We also get into what landlords and third-party clients never have to deal with when TLP is managing the process, why the vast majority of three-day notices never result in a filing, and what documentation and language choices protect you in court. What you will learn: How TLP structures communication from day five through setout dayWhy treating tenants with dignity produces better financial outcomesWhich rental assistance organizations serve Greater Cincinnati and when they release fundsWhy an eviction filing hits a tenant's background check the moment it is submittedWhat documentation and lease language protect the landlord in courtHow to maximize collections after a setout using SSN, DOB, and employer information 📲 Follow @thecincyreishow so you never miss a conversation like this one.
