Moving to Ohio

[RG Mulcihy]

Hello all, my name is RG and I'm new to BP and this is my first forum post. I'm originally from Austin, Texas and I'm moving to Columbus, Ohio next month and have been soaking in all of the real estate information I can get my hands on for the past three months.

I'm incredibly excited to start investing, and am looking to househack as early as next summer.

I know throughout the podcast, I have been warned many times about the importance of knowing the area you're investing in, especially in not only a new market, but also throughout states like Ohio, Michigan, and the like.

Upon moving to Columbus I plan to:

-Walk/Drive the neighborhoods to see what the market looks like

-Analyze deals on the BP calculator to get a sense of what is available and what the deals look like

-Browsing the MLS to learn home values and view listings

-Continue reading as many books as possible about real estate

-Continue listening to the podcast

-Continue to interact through BP and network in the area

Seeing as I am a COMPLETE newbie, any and all suggestions for what I can do moving forward to keep my momentum going would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to interacting with you all on the forums!
