Plans on Starting in Louisville/Cincinnati – Suggestions?

[Evan Carrico]

Hi everyone,

My name is Evan Carrico and I am new to REI. I am currently in my last semester at the University of Kentucky and will be graduating into a full-time position in Cincinnati this summer. I am from Louisville, so I am interested in focusing on the Louisville and/or Cincinnati markets for my long-term outlook. My current plan for starting my portfolio includes a Cincinnati house hack in early 2022 through an FHA 203(k) loan.

I am currently educating myself through books, podcasts, and networking along with practicing "running the numbers" for deals off Zillow. While I am excited about my plans to start my portfolio next year, I am interested to see if you all have any suggestions of how I can better prepare myself for then and/or get involved in REI now. Are there any specific books or contacts you would suggest?

I am excited to hear from you all and appreciate the feedback. Feel free to message me as well!
