I should mention that I'm open to being able to help out both realtors and investors! I figured that realtors might have higher transaction flow, which would speed up learning. But I would eventually like to be an investor myself. Thanks!

Hello everyone! 

I'm finally at a point where I can get serious about real estate. I just finished up my PhD, paid off my credit cards, and moved to Columbus a few months ago. While I save up to buy property, I'm looking to do 'grunt' work for experienced realtors, to gain hands-on experience that will help me make good decisions when I can pull the trigger on a purchase. A bit about me, I currently work for OSU in the Venture Development department, specializing in spinning out startup companies from university tech. I also ran an entrepreneur non-profit and founded a biotech company that just completed its first raise, so I have familiarity with grinding and investor deals. I also interned with a VC firm.

I strongly believe in Columbus as a hot market, due to the influx of large manufacturing corps, the expected population increase, the advantageous position for climate change, and the major transition from commercial properties into residential. I have interest in multifamily, small commercial properties, and private residential, but not enough knowledge to know specifically what to pursue. 

I'm a quick learn, a diligent worker, and I'm pretty much always in a good mood. I've also listened to dozens of BiggerPockets episodes, attended some seminars, and am halfway through Multifamily Millionaire. If anyone is looking for a boots-on-the-ground (or fingers-on-the-mouse) help, I would be excited to pick up any knowledge and practice I can. 

Thanks!

 Hey Michelle! Thank you, and I'll have to check out your podcast! In the age of Zoom, I'm not sure if you mean Virtual Assistant or Veterans Affairs haha. Either way, I'm open to whatever I can learn! Down the line I'll definitely get my license, but for now I'm mostly looking for exposure and knowledge.
