Hey Sam, 

Welcome to BP! I have lived in Columbus almost my whole life. It's been great to see the growth and I think it will still continue to grow. I have 2 duplexes right now and looking to add more to my portfolio. Let me know how I can help and also would love to meet

    Best of luck getting started. If you can house hack, that's how I started. Living in one unit and renting out the other helps you scale quickly because you need a lower down payment for a primary residence.

    Thanks Sam!  May want to connect at some point.  Lived in Cincinnati about 10 years and worked in Northern Kentucky at the RiverCenter, so I’m familiar with the area.  Lived in West Chester and also Blue Ash for a while.  Let’s stay connected!

    @Samuel Richardson

    Welcome to BP!

    From my experience, to succeed in multifamily investing, focus on networking through local meetups, online forums, and professional connections, leveraging your CPA skills to analyze deals and optimize deductions. Start small with a multifamily property in areas showing job growth, population increases, or redevelopment potential. Educate yourself with books, podcasts, and courses, and consider partnering with experienced investors for mentorship. Use platforms like BiggerPockets to refine your goals, connect with others, and take actionable steps toward your first deal.

    Good luck!
