New to BiggerPockets!

[David Charles]

Hello! I'm David and I have been researching real estate investment opportunities on my own for quite a while now. Finally able to actually start executing on some thoughts — and figured I need a network of folks that love real estate investing as much as I do. I am currently in Charlotte and am looking to make my first investment soon! Glad to be here. :) Would love to connect with any real estate professionals in the following areas, as I am considering these markets for LTR:

Oshkosh, WI
Madison, WI
Buffalo, NY
Syracuse, NY
Quantum Valley, NY
Cleveland, OH
Columbus, OH
Pittsburgh, PA

I am most excited about cash flowing properties in areas with exciting growth potential, renovation efforts, or new money coming in! I have lived in Wisconsin and upstate New York in the past and have a decent amount of knowledge of those areas — but obviously need help. I'd love to stay in touch with you!

Have an awesome Sunday!

Hey David. Welcome to BP and congrats on taking some good first steps. I got started back in 2021 as an OOS investor born and raised in San Francisco. 

For you 1st property, probably a good idea to start with something that's more turnkey / light cosmetic work needed before diving into full renovations. Since you mentioned cashflowing properties, I'd add Dayton, OH to your list of markets you're doing research on. 

Happy to connect, share some experiences and chat about your goals.
