Hello all, my name is Jairus Wilder and I am a 21 year old from Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area and just got pre approved for my first property. I have lived here my whole life and familiar with the market here so I know where the good and bad places to invest are. I was curious if anyone had any experience buying properties in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area and had any beginners advice or tips to give for rentals in this market. Anything suggestions are helpful!

@Jairus Wilder Congrats on getting ready to take the leap! I wish I had started at 21. I don't invest in NKY/Cinci yet but I plan to in the future. You are right, it is a great market. My advice, make sure and find a good contractor if you plan on rehabbing and a good handyman that can make quick repairs for your tenants. Also, make sure and go to every meetup that you can. Network all the time so you can meet other successful investors and learn from them.
