Engineering DINK2D Starting out in Real Estate

[Evan Zeigler]

How ya doing, Bigger Pockets!

My fiancée, Elizabeth, and I are extremely excited to graduate with engineering degrees this April. I can’t wait to start building our wealth by investing our W-2 income in real estate. As the title says, we will be dual income, no kids, and two dogs. We love our family and want to free up our time to spend it on the things we love.

I found Bigger Pockets in May 2021 which showed me that real estate was a great way to do this. The reason I haven't taken action up to this point is that we have been in engineering school, and I would rather focus on our degrees right now to have that as a safety net and fruitful source of capital.

The plan is for her to stay at home once we replace or close to replace her income with unearned income from assets. Our post-graduate location will be Dayton, Ohio, and we plan on investing in the Midwest.

Now for my call to action! I would like to connect with investors in Dayton, and take any advice from the community. Mainly interested in buy and hold and BRRR investing (Not interested in house hacking). Can't wait to get started!

 Dayton is a great market to invest in with a lot of growth starting to happen there. There are some great 2-4 units to be had at affordable entry prices.
