Emmanuel Luswata, REALTOR® with eXp Realty, helps real estate investors buy, sell and evaluate rental and value-add properties across Greater Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio.
Investing in Cincinnati and Dayton? Start with the numbers.
Rentals, small multifamily and houses that need work. I find the properties, run the comps and the rent numbers, and help you buy right or sell at the top of the market.
Talk to Emmanuel about a deal →Who I work with
New investors and seasoned ones.
Single-family rentals
Homes that rent well and hold value. I look at rents nearby, taxes, condition and the neighborhood before you make an offer.
Small multifamily, 2 to 4 units
Duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes. I value them on the sales and on the income, because a building is only worth what it earns.
Fix and flip, value-add
Houses that need work. You get an as-is value and an after-repair value, so you know your margin before you buy.
How I run the numbers
Two ways to value a property.
Online estimates often compare a duplex to single-family homes, or a gutted house to a renovated one. I don't. Every opinion is built from the Cincinnati and Dayton MLS and real rents.
- Sales comparisonWhat similar properties sold for nearby, matched on units, size, age and condition.
- Income approachMarket rents, minus vacancy, taxes, insurance, repairs and management, gives the net operating income. That income tells you what the property is worth.
- As-is and after repairFor properties that need work, two values side by side: what it's worth today and what it could be worth when it's done.
- Rent checkRents from comparable, similar-condition units nearby, not luxury new builds.
How it works
From first call to closing.
- 01
Set your buy box
Budget, property type, areas, cash or financing, and whether you want cash flow, appreciation or a flip.
- 02
Find the properties
New listings that fit, price drops, and homes that didn't sell the first time, sent to you as they come up.
- 03
Run every deal
Comps, rents and expenses on each property, so you compare deals on the same numbers.
- 04
Write a smart offer
Price, inspection, timing and terms that protect you, backed by the numbers.
- 05
Close, then plan the next one
Inspections, appraisal and closing handled. When you're ready to sell or buy again, we start from what you own.
Investor questions
What investors ask.
Do you only work with experienced investors?
No. Plenty of investors start with one rental or a duplex they live in. I'll walk you through the numbers either way.
Do you work with cash buyers and financed buyers?
Both. If you're financing, I'll connect you with local lenders who work with investors so you know your numbers before you offer.
Will you tell me if a deal doesn't make sense?
Yes. If the numbers don't work at the asking price, I'll show you why and what price would work.
Do you have contractors and lenders you trust?
I can share names of local lenders, inspectors and contractors investors have used. You always choose who you hire.
How do I get deals before everyone else sees them?
Set up a buy box with me. New listings, price drops and homes that didn't sell the first time get sent to you the day they come up.
Which areas do you cover?
Greater Cincinnati and Dayton, Ohio.
