New to the real estate market in Ohio

[Grace Keyes]

Hi there! 

I am very new to the world of real estate and the Bigger Pockets community. I have been listening to the podcast for a while now and am obsessed with the idea of starting a business. I am looking at the market in central Ohio, but am open to other markets as well. If there are other Buckeyes out there who have some advice for a first-timer like myself, I'm all ears. Cheers!

Hello! @Grace Keyes

Welcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.

I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing. Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.

First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:

The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent. There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
