New/Young investor in Columbus, Ohio

[Charlie Scheiderer]

Hey all, my name is Charlie Scheiderer and I am a 19 year old electrician apprentice in Columbus, Ohio.  On the side I farm part of my family farm as well.  I read Rich Dad Poor Dad several years ago and since then I have been brainstorming ideas on how to build wealth.  So to start my journey I have been building up capital to start investing in real estate.  I have read a couple books from bigger pockets and listened to tons of podcasts.  To start my portfolio i am looking into house hacking where I plan on using the brrrr strategy and trying to find a multi family home in columbus, Ohio within the next few months.  I then want to keep repeating that process and gain rental properties.  Also, after a couple deals I would like to branch out and start doing a couple flips a year.  I feel that with working with my hands and my electrical background I can get a good chunk of the rehabbing done on my own.  If you all could give me some tips, or ideas, or things you would have done if you were to restart at 19 I would really appreciate all feedback. Thanks so much! I am also looking for some contacts within the area that I can bounce my ideas off of as well or help out if they need some help.

@Charlie Scheiderer That is exactly how I started off. I used my W-2 income to house hack my way to 10 units in the Columbus, Ohio area. I then got laid off and went full time into real estate investing.

Good luck! It is a get rich slow play.
