New member looking to get started.
Hi BiggerPockets community.
My name is Zach and I have been following Real Estate investing for roughly the past year - soaking up as much information as I possibly can. I'd like to introduce myself to the community and get involved by connecting with others.
I'm currently in the Cleveland, OH area, on the lookout for deals. Ideally, I would like to pursue large multi-family properties (12-16+ units) if possible. However, there has definitely been some analysis-paralysis going on.
Anyway, I look forward to meeting fellow BP members.
Happy Investing!

Welcome to BP. It took me a year to be comfortable in analyzing properties. After the first deal I was on my way. Make a decision on a target market and become an expert. This will help you from going in to many directions. Pick a neighborhood or two to focus on. Make offers. The worst that can happen is they say yes. Then the fun really starts. Remember the contingencies; attorney approval, inspection, mortgage if applicable. Keep working at it and you'll do great.
Good Luck.
