New Potential Investor From Ohio

[Nicholas Shafer]

Hello, my name is Nick. Just stopped in to introduce myself.

I grew up on the west side of Cleveland and am currently living in Cincinnati and going to school at University of Cincinnati.

I'm just a typical college student and I want to start learning about the real estate industry so I can invest in the future. I'm primarily interested in flips and possibly some buy-and-holds down the road once I have capital. I'm interested in FHA loans or 203K's because of the little capital needed and I don't mind living, breathing, and sleeping with my investment. I'm looking forward to working on my properties myself and being very involved, at least in the beginning.

Just looking for any and all knowledge about the real estate industry. Motivated to get started this summer and at least meet some other young investors who could use a hand or two. Can't wait to get my hands dirty!
