(Soon to Be) First Time Investor in Columbus, Ohio

My husband and I are at the edge ready to jump into real estate investing.  We live in the Columbus, OH area and are interested in starting with two to three small multi-family deals this year.  I would love to connect with agents/brokers/lenders/investors/anyone willing to share knowledge, advice, or wisdom.  

ABOUT US: I am a long time business litigation attorney/recently turned immigration lawyer and business owner.  My husband is owns a contracting and remodeling business and has experience/connections on the contracting side of multi-family. Other newbie investors want to partner with us to break into multi family, but we want to first start with some smaller MF deals ourselves to get our feet wet.

Despite living in the Columbus area for many years, we're relatively unfamiliar with the local real estate market.  Would love to connect with anyone interested in connecting and welcome all advice for beginners.

Thank you!

    Hey @Angelyne Lisinski Congrats on starting your investing journey!

    You and your husband both being business owners are very well positioned for this new path. Both bringing so much to the table. That being said I would avoid the JV's with newbies to start. Unless of course they are needed for financing reasons. It sounds like you have the renovation/rehab base covered.

    Good Luck!
