In Episode 18 of The Rent-ish Podcast, Zach and Patrick sit down with John Blatchford, a Cincinnati-based real estate investor and developer known for breathing new life into historic buildings. As the founder of Kunst and Cohorts, John has built a reputation for transforming neglected properties into vibrant, modern spaces—using a smart mix of tax incentives and creative financing.

The Rent-ish crew dives into John’s journey, exploring the lessons he’s learned along the way, advice for first-time investors, and the story behind acquiring his very first property.
