Newbie From Cincinnati, OH Looking To Get Started!

[Michael Vu]

Greetings Bigger Pockets Community! :)

My name is Michael and I am planning on making my first purchase in 2019. My mom has always been pushing me to buy rental units after I graduated college. A few years later, I've only recently started reading books and listening to podcasts on rental properties and I've decided maybe she's right! I am still absorbing as much knowledge as I can and starting to analyze deals.

I live in Cincinnati, OH and I'm looking to house hack with a multiunit property in the area (Norwood, Oakley, Hyde Park, Pleasant Ridge) and hopefully exponentially expand from there. I went to college in Bethlehem, PA so I am also very much interested in rental properties in the Bethlehem/Lehigh Valley area. I'd love to hear from anyone who has invested in these areas!

I'm hoping to continue learning as much as I can, and then DOING something with that knowledge! Can't wait to spend more time in this community and meet many new people from different walks of life working towards similar goals.
