Cincinnati market research and meeting other investors
Please help! I want to begin my investing journey, but I am struggling to learn the market and meet other investors.
I am on some Facebook groups but it has not helped much and I tried to do my own research but I keep getting stuck.
How do I properly research the market? What kind of things should I look for to determine good and bad neighborhoods to wholesale or buy and hold? How do I get the market knowledge that I need in order to begin? If anyone has the slightest bit of advice for me please comment below, I am eternally grateful.
