 Thanks Joshua! Any keywords you'd recommend? I did Columbus to get local feeds and will do some for topics of interest. 

 Thanks Bryan! I appreciate the advice. 

 Thanks Tony! Would you mind sending me more info about the meetings you mentioned? I'd love to do that. 

 Hey Chad - That would be great! Shoot me a PM when you have a chance and let me know when you're usually free. 

Hi Andrew - Yep I'm planning to continue in OH. I'm getting to know the neighborhoods around Columbus. Thanks for reaching out. 

Hey Ben - Great to meet someone that's had success here. I appreciate the offer and I will definitely take you up on that!

Hi Everyone, 

My name is Matt and I've lived in Columbus, Ohio for a little over two years now. I've had interest in REI for a long time and am ready to get started in this market! I currently have one SFH investment in NE Ohio where I am originally from. It was my first home, and I bought as FHA with a low down payment. So, when I got a new job and relocated I made it a rental out of necessity. The last two years have been quite a learning experience (lots of mistakes), but essential to learning that I can do this and adding to my education.

I have done a lot of reading and have just started networking. I'm hoping to meet more people on this site and build a network. I'm interested in both SFH and multi-family. I'm ready to take action and have a goal to get 1-2 properties before the end of the year. Long term, I hope to do real estate investing full time.

Thanks for reading, and I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you!
