Rebuilt Cincinnati
We acquire, rehab, and sell single-family residential properties in the Cincinnati metro, targeting distressed homes and turning them into move-in ready investments.
Executive summary
We are a residential house-flipping operation that sources undervalued properties across Cincinnati's diverse neighborhoods, executes full renovations using vetted contractor networks, and sells to owner-occupants and small investors. Our model leverages local market knowledge and efficient project management to achieve 18-24 month hold periods with 25-30% profit margins. We begin with our own capital and retained earnings to fund acquisition and rehab cycles, scaling to 3-4 properties annually within 18 months.
Financial snapshot

Cincinnati's inventory of older single-family homes, lower acquisition costs, and growing millennial/Gen-X buyer pool create favorable conditions for disciplined flippers who can execute quality rehabs on schedule and within budget.
Trends
- Rising demand for affordable housing in Midwest urban centers as migration from coastal cities accelerates
- Increasing contractor labor costs driving premiums for well-managed, quality rehabs
- Growing investor interest in Cincinnati's price-to-rent ratios compared to national averages
