Looking to Connect with some investors in Columbus OH

Reagan Eric Ropp
Posted

Hey Guys I'm looking to connect with an experienced investor. Would love to sit down and have coffee with you and pick your brain.

Would love to be able to have a mentor in this space as I start on a new journey in this Real Estate Investing World.

Willing to work hard and take advice and act on it.

Let me know if you know of anyone one or maybe you are that person. Thanks in advance!!

 Love that you already have some Columbus folks reaching out to you! I'd also definitely recommend going to as many networking events as you can. This will help you meet lots of different people in the industry who might help you along your journey or at least share their own experiences that you can also learn from.

I have found many of them through social media, mostly facebook and instagram. You could also Google to see if your area has a local REIA (Real Estate Investment Association) or other meetups. And definitely ask some of the people you already know :)

Why doesn't anyone listen? Never mention Columbus anywhere. The thread will never end. Agents' five-year olds are warming up their iPads to respond right now. Please don't say the words in the open forum.

It is specific to Columbus, more than almost any other area.

 What you did is fine. You can also check out meetup.com. There is a lady named Kathy on there that had a list of local meetups

Happy to connect! I have funded a few deals outside the Columbus area. Also: who else has heard of the big tech installation? I think its Meta, Nvidia, and Google and maybe a few others.
