New member transitioning from healthcare work to real estate investing

[Rufino Mendiola]

Hi, I'm very new to real estate investing and I hope to get connected to people who can help me start on this journey. I'm based in Illinois, but I'm also looking to try to invest out of state.

Hi Rufino, welcome to the real estate world!! I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio. There's so many catalysts for population and job growth (Intel, Honda, Amazon, Nationwide Hospital, etc). I can definitely tell you there's still a lot of positive cash flowing and 1% rule deals and you get amazing appreciation. As an investor and agent here in Columbus Ohio, if you have any questions or want to connect, definitely reach out!
