Soon to be RE agent w/strong interest in RE investments
Hello, I'm fairly new to real estate investing. In Aug, I will sit for the Ohio RE sales agent exam with the goal of creating a strong portfolio of flips and rentals in the Columbus area.
Excited to learn as much as I can and get a solid plan together. It seems my biggest hurdle may be learning how to use my IRA for investment purposes and understanding the legal and tax laws.

I am a real estate investor from Southern California, my personal strategy is buy and hold for single family homes. I also invest in trust deeds. I work closely with all kinds of investors as my company provides self-directed retirement plans enabling our clients diversify out of the stock market and invest into non-traditional assets. I am learning a lot from my clients and want to give back to the community. If I can be of any help, please let me know!
Wishing you the best!
