Just getting started as an investor in Columbus!

[Sean McCarty]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forums, as well as investing. I live in Portland, OR and don't want to get started here as an investor since the numbers simply don't seem to work out for cash flow. I've chosen Columbus as my market for various reasons and excited to start building my team. I've been taking the Zero To Freedom course through Semi-Retired MD to ramp up my knowledge of the industry.

I would love to connect with other investors as I have lots of questions moving forward and will be looking for recommendations. 

Thanks in advance.

@Shawny Le - CDA is a great market! I own rentals in the downtown CDA area, have another under contract, and will start to pick up additional deals as I find them. As an investor in three states, I would caution you on investing out of state when you live in a great market, in my opinion. Do you have any connection to the Columbus area? If not I would recommend investing in your own backyard... One thing to consider is what is your, "unfair advantage"? From my limited perspective, it would be connections and expertise in the local Northern Idaho market, especially with all of the development and investment that is happening. Just my two cents. Good luck with your first deal!
