Quote from @Dylan Stephens:

Hello,

My name is Dylan, I'm 19 years old and attending a local college here in Columbus, OH. I've been introduced into the REI world recently and have been looking at getting started ever since. Being in college, student athlete, and new to the space, capital and time are a struggle to me. The avenues in REI I'm looking at getting involved in are fix & flips, wholesaling, and rentals. If anyone has opportunities, tips, or ways to help me get started, that would be great!

I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and I appreciate the tips & opportunities!

It's fantastic to see your interest in real estate investing, especially at such a young age. While being in college and an athlete can indeed be time-consuming, there are certainly ways to make it work. For fix & flips and wholesaling, you'll need to network with seasoned investors and possibly even partner with them to learn the ropes. Rentals might be more feasible given your circumstances, as they require less time-intensive work upfront.

As for capital, consider starting small. Look for properties that need minimal rehab or could be flipped with cosmetic improvements. I can provide you with insights and advice on how to get started in real estate investing. Let's connect!

Hi, I am interested in investing in Columbus, Ohio. Since I work in Arizona, getting started is somewhat challenging. My credit score is between 750 and 760.  I am actively looking for the multi units like Duplex or Triplex. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Moonyoung! With your credit score, you'll likely have access to favorable financing options. I'd be happy to discuss potential investment strategies and share insights on the Columbus market. Let's connect!

Quote from @Jagpreet Singh:

I'm currently exploring property investment opportunities in Ohio and actively seeking a buyer's agent to collaborate with. Ohio has emerged as a primary focus in my extensive search across various states (I have looked into many states). My goal is to establish valuable relationships with key players in the area, including agents, property managers, and contractors. With plans to make an investment within the next three months, I'm eager to engage in discussions about my strategy and appreciate any constructive feedback. Building lasting connections in the Ohio real estate market is a priority for me.

Feel free to reach out with your credentials and I will follow up as soon as possible. Ideally, an agent and/or property manager experienced with out-of-state investors (I'm in NY), actively investing themselves, and capable of sourcing off-market deals for BRRRR opportunities.

Thanks!

Hey, Jagpreet! It's great to see you exploring opportunities in Ohio. As an active investor based in Columbus, I can understand the importance of establishing valuable relationships with key players in the market.

Columbus, in particular, has diverse neighborhoods and a stable economy, making it an attractive destination for investors like yourself. I'd be more than happy to share insights, market knowledge, and connect you with reputable local agents and property managers. my trusted network of real estate professional. Let’s connect!

Quote from @Kha Lai:

My wife and I are new investors looking into building a team in the Dayton/Miamisburg markets. We're interested in small B/C class multifamily properties (2-4 units) in the $200-$325k price range that has potential to reach 10% COC, with special interest in exploring hidden value opportunities via renovations/upgrades. We would appreciate any recommendations on property managers or investor agents, as well as general tips regarding the Dayton market and would love to connect with some Dayton investors as well. Thanks!

Hey there! It's great to hear that you're interested in the Dayton/Miamisburg markets for small multifamily properties. Yeah it’s great that you are building a strong team of RE professionals. While I'm based in Columbus, Ohio, I have a solid network of professionals in Dayton whom I can connect you with. Additionally, Columbus is another market worth exploring for its strong rental demand, diverse economy, and growing population. Let me know how I can help!

Quote from @Devyn Grillo:

I am selling my business and will soon have $850k cash on hand. I don’t want to put it all into real estate, but I do want to invest a good majority, around $400-600k. I really value cash flow. Should I just look for a multi family? Or I’ve read storage units might be a good option. What would you recommend?

Hey Devyn! It's great to hear that you're thinking about investing in real estate with your upcoming cash on hand. For your situation, multi-family properties and storage units could both be excellent choices. I prefer multi family because they offer multiple income streams, usually higher rent per square foot compared to single-family homes, and are more likely to appreciate over time due to inflation and rent increases.

I would recommend Columbus, Ohio. It's definitely worth considering for its strong rental market, growing population, and diverse economy. I've helped investors find success in this market, and I'd be happy to share more insights if you're interested. Let me know how I can help!
