Cincinnati Wholesaling in 2026: Off-Market Deal Flow With Dylan Koch

Episode 7 of the Cincy REI Show goes deep with Dylan Koch of Morning Brew Properties, one of the most active wholesalers in Greater Cincinnati. He mapped 300 off-market deals neighborhood by neighborhood.

Welcome card for the Cincinnati Real Estate Investing Show with hosts Slocomb Reed and Ian Cruz.

Dylan knows which neighborhoods require block-by-block analysis, why the sub-$250K ARV (after-repair value) market is structurally supply-constrained, and what separates buyers who get deals from buyers who get ignored.

What the episode covers

  • Where deal flow is strongest across Hamilton, Butler, Clermont, and Warren counties in 2026.
  • Why the sub-$250K ARV segment remains one of the most competitive pockets in the market.
  • The neighborhoods that require block-by-block analysis: Madisonville, Evanston, Avondale, Norwood, and Reading.
  • How Ohio's new wholesale disclosure law (SB 155, effective March 2025) changed what buyers need to verify in the original purchase agreement before signing an assignment agreement.
  • How to get on a serious wholesaler's buyer list as an out-of-state investor, and what makes a compelling buyer in 2026.

Why buyers should listen

A wholesaler's map shows where deals actually surface, and the disclosure law changes the paperwork a buyer has to check. Both affect how quickly an investor can move on an off-market property and how carefully they should read the contract behind it.
