Hey, everyone, just wanted to introduce myself to bigger pockets and the Columbus area!  I'm a 26 year old mortgage loan officer for Greenly mortgage and I love getting the opportunity to be apart of someone's jounrey in real estate.  I had an amazing LO when I was buying my first house and that's what really pushed me to get into this field.  Always willing to connect and be a resource.  Looking forward to getting a chance to meet all of you! 

Hey Austin! I have noticed in my time in the industry that using an agent can be a great benefit. They are usually able to have the property sell a great deal over asking and honestly puts the stress more on them than yourself. Up to you but I lean towards hiring a realtor! 

Hey David! Love your post. I’m a local lender and looking to connect with agents nearby and provide value. Good luck and let me know if you’d ever want to hop on a call! 

Hey @Navraj Gill I believe it is doable.  Columbus is a great area depending on where you want to invest in.  Being closer to college campus is a great idea as there are a mix of neighborhoods and more than likely a great rental oppportunity with good cash flow.  Let's connect and discuss more!

Hey, Nick congrats man! That's a super exciting first step on the journey. David Greene has an awesome book on the BRRRR strategy as I'm sure you have read. I would get your base contacts all down for every area needed and start to build that relationship. I don't do hard money but I have a very resourceful team who has done plenty of flips, BRRRR's and buy and holds. We can refi so you can pay off the hard money. Either way I am here if you need anything!

Hey, brother I would try to find more value add properties with mostly cosmetic work. Rents will be going up as interests rates rise as well. If you are buying and holding it isn’t the worst thing in the world to hang onto and wait until the next cycle of refis come but also the deal should always make sense! Reach out if you ever need to talk more in depth about it!

Hey, Eddie! I’ve known a hand written letter to have been previously helpful. Everything is really about building rapport. Hope it helps! Would love to connect
