Excited to start my RE journey in Ohio - Looking for connections!

My plan

I plan on starting small with 1-2 SFH LTR in the Northeast Columbus and/or Akron/Canton area. Ideally, a property that only needs minor cosmetic improvements (paint, floors).

• Pre-approved to $600,000

• Saving $2000/month

• 60K in reserves for down payment & small rehab

Background

My husband and I live in the Bay Area, California, have 2 young kids and we both work full time - looking to step away from our W2's in the next several years. We dabbled in real estate in St. George, UT years ago but had little success as I went in blind following other family members who went into the market. I have a LTR condo in Vegas with my parents, we paid cash and are cash flowing $1250/mo. Now I'm educating myself with the Bigger Pockets resources, which are fantastic!! Eventually, would love to get into small multifamily BRRRR and MTR once we get our investing feet wet.

What I’m looking for

• Evaluation of my plan to get started
• Advice on particular neighborhoods to look at in my desired zone
• People to network with and develop a relationship with

I have not built my team yet, but I am ready to get started. I’d love to connect, please let me know.

@Patrick Drury has a lot of great information on neighborhoods in and around Columbus and developments and City investments that are happening there. He's been a great resource for me so I highly recommend you connect with him. Good luck to you!
