New Member- NE Ohio

[Eric Jelen]

Hi, my name is Eric.  I graduated from school about two years ago and I'm currently an engineer for a glass manufacturing company in Cleveland, Ohio.  

Since graduation, my interest in personal finance and investing has grown. I am debt free, created a safety fund, and have been contributing to my company's 401K and my own Roth IRA. My next goal is to start investing in real estate.

I have been listening to the biggerpockets podcast to and from work, and reading as many real estate books as I can get my hands on. I plan to start going to my local REIA.

After my initial research, residential multifamily homes seems like a good place to start investing. I am leaning toward using an FHA loan to fund the property and live in one of the units.

I have a lot more research to do about choosing a property, being a landlord, and building a team that I can rely on.
