Just getting started in Cincinnati!
Hello Everyone! I am just beginning my real estate journey. I’ve read books, listened to podcasts and seminars and am ready for financial freedom!
I would love to connect with people open to helping newbies like myself with any advice or questions I may have. I’m looking to invest in multi-family units in the Cincinnati area. I’m looking to build the relationships that will help me along the way.

@Christian Duke I am orignally from Ohio and have lots of family there. Welcome to the fascinating and profitable world of real estate investing.
Another thing to add to your list of "MUST KNOW" is how to leverage the tax advantages of owning commercial RE and residential rentals. The benefits have never been better! Don't expect your CPA/tax professional to be your tax strategist. You may not have to pay taxes on your rental income for a long time. It represents about %6 to 10% of what you paid for the property in taxes (federal + state) that you will not have to pay. Don't leave money on the table. Estimates are at no cost.
