Newbie first post alert…I’ve been in Multifamily Property Management for over 20 years. As any great Property Manager (if I do say so myself), with a proven track record of making their company successful, I have to ask…”WHY AM I NOT DOING THIS FOR MYSELF?” So I am reaching out to this group for anyone interested in trading knowledge. I want to get my feet wet in my own investment. I don’t feel I have enough expertise to just dive in. Please drop your name in comments if you will let me pick your brain, or share your advice on how you got started, or just share any advise you are willing to give to a newbie. I’ll be happy share my Ohio rental expertise with you!

Hey Rebecca, I think you are in a great spot for a beginner in terms of price point and proximity to the property. I'm an investment real estate agent in Columbus. Price points are higher here but deals can be found. I would recommend finding your first property in Dayton due to the price difference of Columbus, but for longer term plays, Columbus is booming. Feel free to connect and ask questions.
