Hi BP Community! My name is Matt and I currently work in real estate investment banking in NYC (Think M&A and underwriting for REITs, large PE firms etc.). I am interested in learning about and getting into real estate investing with a short-term goal of owning/leasing either SFH or small multi family properties to learn the fundamentals and a long-term goal of pivoting into larger scale investments in multi-family/student housing, self-storage, and MHP. Geographically, I am primarily interested in the Columbus, Ohio area but also have an interest in Rochester, NY and Raleigh-Durham, NC as I have family ties as well as experience living in all of the above locations. Any advice or educational resources you found particularly helpful would be much appreciated! I have recently gotten into the BP podcast and some books, which have been very informative. Looking forward to connecting!
