New investor from Ohio

[Bryson Elder]

hi, my names Bryson I’m 21 and looking to expand my business portfolio focusing mainly on the real estate and rental market though I’m new to the game. Currently I like the idea of brrrr, but the idea of loans and debt still scare me though I’m not in a position to cover costs entirely on my own. I know debt isn’t necessarily bad as long as you’re making enough from the investment to cover payments. I’d love to hear from people that have had skin in the game for a while. Any advice for a newbie is welcomed.

Hey Bryson! Welcome to BiggerPockets! If you are going to invest locally I would recommend house hacking. That is what I did here in Columbus, Ohio when I started investing in 2020.

Here is an article with more information on what a house hack is - https://www.rocketmortgage.com/learn/house-hacking
