Newbie from San Francisco (interested in Columbus or Cleveland)

Hi there,

My name is Lesley and I am new to the Bigger Pockets community as well as Real Estate Investing. While I don't have any experience yet, I'm looking to network and learn more about buy-and-hold properties. I currently live in San Francisco, CA but am looking to invest in buy-and-hold rental properties in Columbus or Cleveland, OH. My goal is to replace my current income with income from investment properties within the next 10 years.

I am a licensed Interior Designer and, while I currently work on commercial spaces, I have experience in designing multi family units (finishes and layout) that I would love to put to use.

If you're an investor in the Bay area, I would love to buy you a cup of coffee in exchange for any tips or suggestions on getting started.

Cheers!

I'm glad to see everyone is excited about my hometown. Cleveland is a great location for cash flow and appreciation has been great as well. Always willing to help out some BP members!
