Motivated Newbie in Central Ohio

[Steven Carnahn]

Hello! This is my first post and I am very excited about the opportunities that are ahead. I am a lineman for Ohio Edison with and 7 year old daughter and recently engaged! And I am in the process of selling my home. I have had a lot of interest in duplexes and triplexes for many years but was afraid to pull the trigger. But now that I have found bigger pockets I feel much more confident and moving forward. My fiancé actually owns a duplex (1 year) so we have been working together on that...well I'm the designated maintenance man now. Haha. One side is rented out and we are finishing up the kitchen on the other side before we open the door to occupy it again. We have been going and looking at homes for a few months now and I have found a duplex that seems to make sense to me. I did find out that it is in contract but the realtor doesn't think it will go through. So I made a back up offer on it and am waiting to hear some news. That happened 2 days ago. I have been listening and reading on BP for about 5 months and yesterday I attended my first webinar and signed up to be a pro member. So I look forward to taking advantage of the perks that come along with that. I am very excited about moving forward and learning as much as I can!
