Hi All-
So happy to have found this site. I am enjoying beginning to build my understanding of Real Estate investing and look forward to using the resources on this site. The podcasts have been so educational and inspiring- I am trying to take the advice of many and "take a deep breath and do your homework" before jumping into anything. I am just beginning to understand the possibilities but my initial interest is in buy and hold properties in the NE Ohio area.
Curious to hear how some of you have engaged your partners/spouses to share your excitement/interest in Real Estate-

Hi Michelle ... I work with my hubby ...but we are very different people with different strengths and weakness but together form a better partnership...I guess that its important to share with ones partner but let them do the things they do best and you do the same...gives everyone a scene of accomplishment and make for a strong partnership... want to chat more give me a call >>.we do a lot of work in Ohio it is a wonderful place to invest
So far, everything I have purchased has been through wholesalers, however I have recently teamed up with one of the locals and we are building a bigger business with multiple, in-house, acquisition strategies.

@Jeff Brower- Thanks Jeff- I checked it out- I wonder who that type of property makes sense for- It looks nice but doesnt seem to fit any of the "rules of thumb" - Thanks again- Perhaps I will see you at the November REIA-
@Adam Adams do you have a wholesaler you would recommend in this area? And curious what steps you took to ensure you didnt get a bad deal through them?- I can imagine its easy for a new investor to fall prey to the wrong wholesaler... appreciate your time..

Want to give a big thanks to @Susan Parker for taking the time to speak with me in person yesterday. The meeting helped build my confidence and reinforce my belief that I can do this successfully if I do my homework. Speaking with Susan helped me clarify that my interest is in the area of buy and hold.
As a next step, I would be interested in meeting up with others who are successfully buying and holding in the NE Ohio area. Happy to buy the coffee (or tea...)- I do plan to attend the November REIA- So perhaps will meet some people there.
