@Brett Woodall Welcome to Biggerpockets!!! You thinking about starting in Cincinnati?

@John Miller Welcome to BiggerPockets. "Rich Dad Poor Dad" has jump started many investors, so your on the right path. 

Best way to start is ask as many questions as you can and find a path you want to go down. Start talking to a lot of people. Also if you you ever want to jump on a quick and chat for a bit let me know.

@Diogo Marques Congrats on wanting to make the first step and take some action. Are you looking for a passive stable deal or something you might have to do some value add to?

@Scott Peace Congrats on the purchase! I am looking at a 252 unit property in Lexington and wanted to get some local feedback. Are you available for a call?

@Trevor Colegrove Welcome to BiggerPockets!!

@Bryan Miller I would like to set up a call and learn more about what you or your investors are looking for. I have 3 deals in contract now and a couple in the pipeline.

@Chris Reeves I think its just like any investment you make. If the syndicator or sponsor explains the risk involved and the investor understands thats the best they can do. Your right where the market is in 5 years is almost impossible, but its just like any investment you make. What do you do when you buy a stock and the company goes out of business? Not the best example but an example for you. The bottom line is investors have to understand the risk before they get involved. The best part of real estate if the building can pay the debt (if you have a mortgage) then they can never take the property away. If the market goes upside down, at least you own the physical asset and it can rebound. Being the landlord you can control or adjust the rents to dictate what you need.

I hope that helps.

@Ben Lause Welcome to BiggerPockets!! I am actually going to be in Cincy in the next couple weeks, put a 27 unit in contract. I would love to grab a coffee or show you the property if you interested.

@Brian Woody Welcome to BiggerPockets!! You are in the right place looking for answers.

@Michael Quarles I love the site
