[Nicholas Cirigliano]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Nick Cirigliano and I'm currently located in Dallas and looking to enter the real estate market. I've read several books to further educate myself on the topic as well as different strategies and I'm ready put that knowledge into practice.

I'm excited to learn from everyone in the BiggerPockets community and would appreciate any advice or experiences you have to share. In addition, any networking opportunities in the area would be great to learn about as well. 

Thank you!

I prefer to start in the Midwest, because the entry point is much lower and cash flows the best. As long as you develop your Core 4 like David Green’s mentioned in his long-distance investing strategy (realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender), you should be able to invest anywhere with confidence. I buy in Columbus, Ohio. Columbus has experienced so much growth for the past few years, partly due to the influx of tech giants like Intel ($20 billion), Meta, Amazon, and Google building warehouses and data centers in the area, which has contributed to an increase in property prices and more people moving into the city for job opportunities. I also invest in Cleveland and Cincinnati.
