New to Small Multifamily in Columbus, Ohio

[Sharon Seiter]

Hello all!

I'm a sales analyst from Columbus, Ohio and am currently learning all I can about small multifamily investing toward the goal of creating a house hack for my family by summer 2017.  

Beyond that, I am intrigued by the possibility of building a portfolio of small multifamily properties and generating cash flow to increase my flexibility and time with my two young sons.  

Right now, I am in the "learn and save every penny" phase of my journey, so I would love to know:

1. What's the best piece of advice, book, or article on small multifamily or real estate investing in general that you wish you had read starting out?

2. If you're located in Columbus, or Ohio I would love to hear about networking opportunities or resources specific to our city / state.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Sharon

There will be a FREE meeting next Thursday (October 20th) for experienced and newbie Investors, Landlords, Wholesalers and Flippers at Tommy's Pizza on Dublin-Granville between Sawmill and Riverside. Tommy’s is attached to the western side of Oakland Nursery. The meeting starts at 6:00 PM.

You can arrive at any time but from 6:00 - 6:45 PM they'll have a Q&A which is very helpful for newbies. After that there is usually a featured speaker on an important topic.

There’s typically a good mix of attendees - usually one or more attorneys, a number of agents, many experienced investors, landlords, flippers, rehabbers, contractors, lenders, etc. This will be a very good opportunity for networking and to meet people active on BP (and those who don't use BP).

The meeting will end around 9 PM but the room will be available for networking till about 10. As stated above, except for any food or drink you happen to order there is no charge to attend. Attendance is usually around 40 - 55. This group has been meeting for years and attracts attendees from all over Columbus Metro.
