Investor in Columbus, OH

[Andrew P.]

Hello Bigger Pockets Community,

My name is Andrew and I have been investing in Columbus, OH for around 5 years ever since I graduated college. I have been pretty stagnant the past couple years and I am ready to ramp it up. I currently own 11 SFR's in a C- to D+ (up for debate) area and am looking to get into C - B areas. My plan for 2017 is to obtain 10 more SFR's and possibly a couple flips here and there.

I work a solid 9-5 (more like 7-6) job and also have my real estate license, however, I don't actively buy/sell real estate. I am positioned pretty well financially and I am ready to go! I'd like to network with anyone interested, with the intent to strike a positive business relationship for both of us and to learn whatever I can. I have some knowledge of real estate investing but still have a lot to learn. 

I appreciate any replies (wholesalers, investors, agents, etc.) and look forward to meeting you.

Thanks,

Andrew

@Andrew P.   "I'd like to network..."

There is a free meeting Thursday, January 19th for experienced and newbie Investors, Landlords, Wholesalers and Flippers at Tommy's Pizza on Dublin-Granville between Sawmill and Riverside. Tommy’s is attached to the western side of Oakland Nursery. The meeting starts at 6:00 PM.

You can arrive at any time but from 6:00 - 7:00 PM they'll have a Q&A which is very helpful for newbies and for experienced investors with tough problems. Around 7 PM a featured speaker will discuss over 30 websites that can help you in your real estate business.

There’s typically a good mix of attendees - usually one or more attorneys, a number of agents, many experienced investors, landlords, flippers, rehabbers, contractors, lenders, etc.

This meeting is a very good opportunity for networking and to meet people active on BP (and those who don't use BP). While not an official BP meetup, you can accomplish the same goals.

Networking will start a little after 8 and the room will be available for networking till about 10.

As stated above, except for any food or drink you happen to order, there is no charge to attend. Attendance is usually around 35 - 55. This group has been meeting for years and attracts attendees from all over Central Ohio.
