@Sastry Konduri Just because you haven't seen a deal like this in SF, doesn't mean there aren't other potentially better options available in Columbus.

@Jason Boulter we are looking mostly inside the 270 loop, we aren't focused on one neighborhood.  There are a lot of areas that are growing quickly other than the short north.  For example, Old Town East, Franklinton, and the South Side.  There are lots of opportunities depending on your goals, I'd be happy to help anyway I can!

@Jason Boulter Congrats, I am also a recent college grad and invest in properties around Columbus.  There have been some challenges but it has been great so far, if there is anything I can do to help let me know! good luck

You might be on to something here... what's your snap code I'd be interested to follow?

Hey @Adam Schroeder,

This is the route that I took and now have 10 units, its an exciting and interesting business to be in for sure! If you're ever in columbus I'd be happy to connect.  

I'd also like to mention that you're saving 25-30% for a down payment might not be necessary to get started if you don't already own a property, it might be worth speaking with a lender about.

Good luck and if theres anything I can do to help just let me know.

Welcome to bigger pockets, as a fellow young investor I am always excited to hear how others are going to get started investing.  If there is anything I can do to help let me know and of course Good Luck!

I don't want this to sound like a plug but for our rentals we have been using the bigger pockets screener and have been very happy with it so far.  Good Luck!

Welcome to Bigger Pockets, I am a buy and hold investor and a residential real estate agent.  I am hoping to get into flips within the next year.  Good luck and if there is anything I can do to help please reach out.

@Jeremy Drawas I'm not saying he shouldn't but its something to think about.

@Jeremy Drawas Does your dad want to get into real estate full time, though it can be much more passive than a full time job it is still a job.  Also, it sounds like he has been very successful in his career and wouldn't have much time left, would he want to justify his and your mothers retirement because he couldn't wait 5 years to retire the way he had planned?
