Newbie from Ohio -- Hi there!

[Pete Grapentien]

Hi, BP! 

Great website you've got here. I'm a newbie from Ohio trying to supplement my current income as a software engineer by investing in real estate. I'm mostly interested in rental properties at the moment.

My current plan is to buy a duplex with an FHA loan, live in half while supplementing the loan repayment using rent from the other half, then branch out from there. I'd be very interested to hear some feedback on this plan or recommendations for reading material. Otherwise, I'll see you around the forums, I suppose.

Take care!
