Hello everyone, my name is Eduardo and I would like to introduce myself. I am a real estate investor that just moved to Columbus from Miami looking to buy my second property within the next year. I love the idea of house hacking, as for it is a way to build equity while minimizing expenses. I have heard great things about this community and would love to connect with local investors/real estate professionals in the area. Please reach out and inform me on where I can find meetups or if you are open to having a conversation with me that would be great as well.
Thank you for your time,

Hi everyone, 

As a first time out-of-state investor, I've heard buzz about promising neighborhoods in Columbus, like North Linden, Olde Towne East, and Franklin Park, known for their potential cash flow and appreciation. However, a quick glance at Zillow reveals some new or decent condition rental listings lingering for over 30 days. This raises a critical question: Is there a genuine rental demand in these areas, despite the city's ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure? Understanding this dynamic could be key to making informed investment decisions

Hi All,

I am looking to buy my first real estate rental property and I am looking in Columbus, Ohio, and Indianapolis, Indiana. Please let me know how these areas are regarding overall real estate investing and which specific areas I can target in these cities?

I am also looking for real estate agents in these two cities who can show me a few properties.

Regards,

Abhi

Howdy BiggerPockets Fam, 

I feel like I'm in a good place  to finally pull the trigger and invest in my first multi-family property. I plan to house hack for my first  investment property and most likely do the same for my 2nd, 3rd, property as well! I'm intrigued by the concept of serial house hacking and feel like it's a solid strategy for accumulating investment properties. I live in Las Vegas, NV currently but see better opportunities for multi-housing investing in midwestern cities. I'm particularly drawn to Columbus, Ohio.

I would love to connect with an investor-friendly real estate agent in Ohio to help guide me through the journey. I'm also open to other markets as well. I work remote so really can live anywhere. Just want to go where I'll have the most success house hacking. Thanks for your time! 

Hello everyone!

New here to the forum and I am currently looking to invest in Ohio for the purpose of providing section 8 housing.  I have about 1

$110K to invest, and I am looking to invest in the next few months.  Any and all guidance is greatly appreciated.  Thank you!  Looking forward to the journey ahead....

Hello BiggerPockets community,

First-time poster here!

My wife and I are amateur property investors, and over the next year, we're aiming to get more serious by purchasing several small multi-family properties. Here's a rundown of our current financial situation and REI experience:

Current Properties:

1. Short-term rental in the mountains of NC:
2. - Owned outright
3. - Grosses $2-4k per month
4. - Valued at $400k
5. Condo in Charlotte, NC (long-term rental):
6. - Owned outright
7. - Rents for $2.9k per month, cash-flowing $2k per month
8. - Valued at $350k
9. Primary residence:
10. - Located in NC
11. - worth $800k, owe $200k

My wife is also a minority partner in an investment group that specializes in BRRRing foreclosed properties. She handles acquisitions, renovations, and rentals for the company and has flipped around 15 properties to date.

Financial Situation:

• Cash Available for Investment: $200k
• Equity: Willing to tap into the equity in our two rental properties for additional purchases.
• Income: ~$250k

Our Plan and Questions:

We're based in NC but are considering purchasing multi-family homes in the Midwest due to significantly lower property prices and perceived better cash flow opportunities. However, we have several questions and would appreciate the community's advice:

1. Midwest Markets - Which Midwest markets offer the best value for investors and present good growth opportunities?
2. Agent Search - Should we find an agent in each city/market we are interested in working with?
3. Financing - Should we secure financing before identifying a property or vice-versa?
4. Lenders - Is there a preferred lender for multi-family housing that's owned by out-of-state investors?
5. Scaling Ownership - Given our available cash and equity, what strategies would you recommend for scaling our property ownership efficiently?

We'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences! Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello BiggerPockets community! I'm Deidre  from San Francisco, newly getting started into real estate investing. I'm looking for long-term investment opportunities in growing market and am excited to build my portfolio.

Hey Everyone,

I'm new to Real Estate and I'm looking to build connections with other investors, wholesalers and lenders. I am looking to Fix and Flip in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania. I currently live in San Diego, so I am interested in my local market also, but I am newer here, so I'm still learning the market.  Let me know how I can help anyone out. I would be happy to chat and build some good connections.

Howdy! My name is Ryan, and I live in a suburb on the East side of Cleveland. I currently own one side-by-side duplex in Euclid (purchased end of 2022), and am looking to eventually buy more rental properties, and possibly get into medium term rentals. Goal is to eventually quit my day job (land surveyor, mostly for construction). Had a bad experience with Cleveland REIA and will never go back!
