Hello BP Community! 

I am Divya from Bay Area, CA. I have been listening to BP Podcasts for the past couple of years and finally feel ready to start my investment journey.

Given the high price points in the area I live, I want to start investing out of state with a relatively lower pricepoint of 100-150K. The aim is to get some cash flow in the beginning. I am exploring Ohio markets at the moment. I am open to turnkey or off-market deals requiring some rehab. I am aiming to acquire the property in the next 30-60 days.

I am aiming at adding 1 house to my portfolio per year. I would eventually want to move towards markets that offer more appreciation.

I would want to stick to B or C+ neighborhoods. I would love to connect with agents and property managers, rehab companies with more insight into the microclimate of the area.

On another note, I would love to connect with like-minded people from the bay area. Any local group/meet-up recommendations would be much appreciated.

Best,

Divya

      Invest in the wonderful town of Columbus, OH. Home to The Ohio State University with nearly 60,000 students, 5 Fortune 500 companies, over +25% population change since 2000, 2016 smart city challenge award winner gaining 50 million dollars in funding from the government (https://www.columbus.gov/smartcity/), Intel is spending 20 Billion dollars to build two semiconductor plants, and many more great things presently and coming in the future. Needless to say, Columbus will remain a strong real estate market for the foreseeable future.
