New in real estate

[Emily Shin]

Hello, I am new to this community and to real estate investing. Currently, I live in New York, but I am interested in exploring opportunities in Columbus, Ohio. This will be my first home purchase, and I am aiming to invest in multi-family properties.

What should I be aware of when purchasing a multi-family property? I am considering living in one of the units myself. Do you think that’s a good idea? Would living in the same property as my tenants have any downsides?

Any advice is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to connecting with all of you
