Hi, my name is Carlos. I just finished reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and decided to start my journey in to Real Estate. I’m a newbie, I wanna start educated myself in the next months before start looking for my first property.

I will like to know what books, podcasts, and videos you all can recommend me. I already bought one of Brandon Turner’s book. And if you have some piece of advice it would be welcome.

Thanks in advance to all.

Hi Carlos, Rich Dad Poor Dad is such a good read!! For your first real estate investment property, I recommend that you look into Columbus Ohio and as someone who works with a lot of out of state investors - there's so many catalysts for why you should invest here. Specifically, there's job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide, etc) and the population is growing (unlike Cleveland or Cincy). I really see Columbus Ohio as an extremely safe bet for the next 10-20 years. Plus, there's still so many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here in Columbus Ohio. As a local investor and agent here in Columbus, let me know if you have any questions or want to connect!
