Looking to meet Investors in Columbus!

[Darrio Pope]

Hello All, I've been looking into purchasing property in the Columbus area and just wanted to meet up with people who have experience in house fixing and flipping and/or rental properties. I've been a Mortgage Underwriter for 8 years and looking to transition into investing! I've recently assisted a friend of mine in rehabbing a home he purchased from the city Land Bank he is currently occupying and think I want to flip those first. Mostly because they are between $2k-$10k in areas that has been getting offers from larger companies that want to purchase the land. What are your thoughts on this? Any advice is welcome! Also should I consider getting a Real Estate license for Ohio although I solely want to invest?
