Multi-Family & Investment Properties in Lima, OH
Cash-flowing duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and small apartment buildings across Lima, Allen County, and West Central Ohio — underwritten by people who actually own rentals here.
Lima has one of the strongest cash-on-cash rental markets in Ohio — entry-priced 2–4 unit buildings still pencil at meaningful returns when the rest of the Midwest is closer to break-even. The LV5 Real Estate Team owns rental property in Allen County, so when we underwrite a deal for you, the rent comps, vacancy assumptions, and capex reserves come from people actively writing the same checks.
For first-time house hackers, an FHA or conventional 5%-down loan on a 2–4 unit you live in is one of the fastest paths to owning income property — and Lima's price points make it realistic on a starting salary. For experienced investors, we underwrite DSCR loans, portfolio refinances, and BRRRR exits with local lenders who understand Lima rental rates and don't cap you at four properties.
We also vet property managers, contractors, and turnover crews. LV5 Real Estate Team can hand you a stabilized rental ready to cash flow on day one, or a value-add fixer if that's your strategy. Browse current inventory below, then call us — we'll send the rent comps, expense numbers, and our underwriting before you spend a Saturday driving by.

Frequently asked
How much down do I need for an investment property?
For non-owner-occupied 2–4 unit financing, expect 20–25% down with conventional or DSCR loans. If you'll live in one unit (house hacking), FHA can go as low as 3.5% down on the same building. That single difference is why so many first-time investors in Lima start by occupying the property for a year.
What rents are realistic in Lima?
As of 2026, 2-bedroom units in decent Lima neighborhoods generally rent $700–$950, 3-bedrooms $950–$1,300, and renovated units in the better pockets command more. Section 8 fair market rents are competitive and often pay above private market for well-kept units. We pull live rent comps for every property we underwrite.
Do you help analyze deals, or just sell them?
Both. We provide a full underwriting model on any 2–4 unit before you offer: rent comps, expense ratios, capex reserves, projected cash flow, cash-on-cash, cap rate, and BRRRR refi exit assumptions. We tell you when a deal doesn't work, too — most don't.
Can I see off-market multi-family deals?
Yes. A lot of Lima rental inventory trades between local investors before it ever hits the MLS. If you're a serious buyer (pre-approved or all-cash), tell us your buy-box and we'll plug you into that flow.
Know exactly what you want?
Tell the LV5 team what you're looking for and we'll send matching listings — including off-market and pocket deals — before they hit the MLS.
