Newbie Investor Looking to Learn and Make Connections

[Jenna Harris]

Hi everyone,

I am new to Bigger Pockets - thanks for having me! My husband and I live in San Diego and have been interested in investing for many years, and I have spent the last several months learning all I can about buy-and-hold real estate and we are ready to dive in. Currently we are considering single or multi family properties in the Indianapolis or Cincinnati areas but would love any and all information you have on other markets we should take a closer look at. We are also very interested in anything near a military base.

My main concerns are:

- Managing a renovation remotely

- Incorrectly evaluating a deal

- Finding contractors and property managers I can trust

Would love to connect with any of you who are either in the same boat or have experience/guidance/advice in these areas.

Thanks so much, looking forward to learning all I can!

Jenna
