Brian & Laura Quinn, Husband + Wife Real Estate Investors
We buy old houses, foreclosed or forgotten, and breathe new life into them with our creative vision. We're suckers for sustainability and style, and infuse both into our rental properties in our hometown of Dayton, Ohio.

Cox House
A dilapidated Dayton home being given away — once the residence of Gov. James M. Cox  — has a new owner and chance for new life. Chris Lewis, a Vandalia native, said he was “drawn to the home” when he saw a story about it.

Dayton Arcade
The Dayton Arcade, the beating heart of a once vibrant downtown, was shuttered for 30 years. Many attempts were made to renovate the property. All failed. An innovative and daring effort has taken place, led by Baltimore-based Cross Street Partners. Leading urban redevelopment expert Bruce Katz, has called the Dayton Arcade: "The most transformative project in America."

The Minnie Project
When Martha Conkel Nghiem and Tung Nghiem began thinking about where they wanted to begin their married life, Dayton’s charming and historic St. Anne’s Hill neighborhood was at the top of their list. When the big, blue Victorian home, lovingly known locally as the Wilhelmina, perched on a hill on McLain Street went on the market in January 2020, it was a no-brainer for Martha and Tung to put in a bid.
