Financing for Ohio real estate investors
This is business-purpose lending for non-owner-occupied property — buy-and-hold rentals, BRRRR projects, short-term rentals, and portfolio growth across Ohio.
If you’re buying, refinancing, or growing a rental portfolio, you’re in the right place. Many of our investor programs can qualify primarily around the property and its cash flow rather than traditional W-2 or tax-return income documentation.

Ohio investment-property market at a glance
Ohio is one of the country’s steadier cash-flow markets and one of the most landlord friendly states in the country.
The big four metros each play a different role for investors: Columbus is the growth story, with the state’s highest median listing price (about $394,500 as of June 2026) and strong rental demand from a growing job base; Cincinnati sits just below it (around $354,900) with a deep, diversified rental market. Cleveland and Dayton are the classic lower-basis, higher-yield metros — entry prices well under the state median, where deals commonly clear a 1.0+ DSCR on rent alone.

Financing Built Around the Deal — Not Just the Borrower
Every investment property has a different story.
Some deals are about cash flow. Others are about pulling equity out, buying in an LLC, financing a short-term rental, or finding a structure that still works when the numbers are tight.
At Andes Mortgage, we help Ohio real estate investors look at the property, the strategy, and the financing together.
Instead of trying to force every deal into one loan program, we compare the available business-purpose options and help you understand which structure makes the most sense for what you’re trying to accomplish.
Start With the Property
Tell us what you're buying — or what you already own. Share the purchase price, expected rent, current mortgage, equity position, or whatever you know about the deal. We can start there and help you figure out which financing options are worth exploring.
Compare investor loan options
Depending on the deal, that could mean a DSCR loan, cash-out refinance, investor HELOC, short-term rental financing, or another business-purpose structure. We'll help you compare the options instead of making you guess which program fits.
Think Beyond This One Closing
Whether you're buying your first Ohio rental or adding another property to an existing portfolio, we look at how the financing fits into the bigger picture — including your equity, cash flow, and plans for the next deal.

Ohio investor loan questions
Can I finance an investment property in Ohio through Andes?
Yes. Andes originates business-purpose investment property loans on non-owner-occupied Ohio real estate — including DSCR loans, cash-out refinances, investor HELOCs, and short-term rental financing. These loans qualify on the property’s rental income, so there are no tax returns and no personal debt-to-income calculation.
Does Andes offer owner-occupied or consumer mortgages in Ohio?
No. In Ohio, Andes offers business-purpose investment loans only — financing for rental and other non-owner-occupied property. We do not originate owner-occupied, primary-residence, or other consumer-purpose mortgages in Ohio.
What is a business-purpose (investor) loan?
A business-purpose loan finances property held to generate income or profit — a rental, a BRRRR project, a short-term rental — rather than a home you live in. Because the loan is underwritten on the property’s cash flow and business use, it follows different rules than a consumer mortgage, and the property is typically non-owner-occupied.
Which Ohio markets are best for rental investing?
The four metros investors ask about most are Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Dayton. Columbus and Cincinnati carry higher prices with strong demand and appreciation potential, while Cleveland and Dayton offer lower entry prices and higher yields where deals commonly clear a 1.0+ DSCR on rent alone.
Can I buy an Ohio rental property through an LLC?
Absolutely. You can title your property to an LLC using our DSCR loans in Ohio. For more information on having a business own the property, visit our DSCR LLC page.
