New investor in Columbus

Anson Brown
Posted

Hey Everyone! I'm looking to get started in real estate investing in the Columbus Ohio area. I'm looking to buy multi family homes and rent them out. I've spoken to a realtor and been doing some reading and feel like I'm ready. There is a lot of information out there and I'm looking to do things the right way so that I can limit my mistakes while I learn. I'm interested in purchasing my first property through an LLC. I've read that you do not need an attorney for an LLC, but I've also read that an attorney can be very helpful to real estate investors. I'm sure everyone's situation is different but I'm not sure which way to go as a new investor.
If an attorney is the best route, I'd love to be able to work with someone that would be ok with someone that asks questions. Is it good to have a CPA and attorney in place before your first purchase? I'm also looking to work with a quality property management company. I've read some good things about REAL property management and Panzera Realty on here. Is it good to have a property management team in place before a purchase? Again I'd love to be able to work with a company that is ok with my lack of experience and is ok with someone asking questions. There are quite a few knowledgeable investors on here and I'd love some opinions. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
