Rental Property Investor · Columbus, OH · Member since 2016 · 16 posts · 10 votes

Hello guys my name is DeMonte Hester I've been a member on the site for a while now but am now just taking advantage of some of the tools and opportunities that BiggerPockets offers! I'm 21 years old and have two boys and me and my fiancé are looking to invest in single family and small multifamily units in good school districts. If anyone has any good advice on getting started, people to contact and meet, or just want to say hello! I'd greatly appreciate it!

Welcome to BP!
Tons of great info here. There are also several meet ups each month that are great.
What areas are you looking at to invest?
Good luck!
