New Member, How to Start?

Hi everybody,

I am a college student at THE University of Cincinnati and I want to start investing in real estate, most likely in Columbus, the second I get my degree.

Is this possible? and if so, how do I get started? I have thought about doing house hacking in a duplex or triplex.

 Hi Reed,

You should come check out our brokerage. REAFco has great mentorship and driven people that are enjoyable to be around. 

When I got started investing my sophomore year of college, I had $500 to my name, My grandmother lent me $12k for the downpayment on a duplex on OSU campus in Columbus. Over the course of a year my wife and I fixed it up, rented to friends, ate peanut butter and jelly, did everything we could. We then refinanced the property and it has given us $140k in cash back and continually produces $1,800/month in cash flow.

Get started and it will be only good things for your future!

Reach out if you want to chat more. I am always willing to connect.
