Hello all. NJ resident here who is looking for an out of state area to do some investing. My area is just too damn expensive. I have done a lot of reading and research and Columbus has definitely caught my eye. I already have a realtor as well as finance and Insurance people I have had conversations with there.  I am looking is the small multifamily or single family areas to start. 

   I guess what I am basically asking for is for opinions to sell me either way. 

   Have I picked a good area or am I a fool and should restart my search in another area?

Hi guys

I’m new on here. Wanted to know what city’s are good to invest now for cash flow. Thank you

My name is Sidiky, I live in Cleveland Ohio area, and I am new to real estate investing, and I am looking to connect with local investors.

Thank you.

I am both excited and nervous to be exploring real estate investing in Central Ohio and beyond.

Hi Everyone! My name is Brandon I have been investing in real estate for about 1.5 years in the Charlotte, NC metro area . I am now currently looking to expand in the Dayton, OH metro are looking for serious cash buyers.  Looking forward to networking and working with everyone.  Thank you in advance.

I have some very basic work that needs doing. But would also like to add a trustworthy contact who I can work with again in the future. I've reached out to a couple but not many responses. I feel maybe the  job is too small or they are unhappy that I'm not a local. Any suggestions here ? 

The work : 

-Gutter cleaning
-fix downspouts
-fix loose sidings
-carbon monoxide detector install
-bath silicone

I am new member looking to learn more about real estate. I have full time job. earning very comfortable salary. looking mainly to create other income streams because of all the "what ifs..." and because I want to gain more freedom and time. no prior real estate experience. read couple of BP books and listened to a few BP podcasts. Multi family appeals to me due to the consistent cash flow but I do not know if it is a reasonable way to get started. Given my busy career, I am interested in learning about a decent method of investing whereby I can simply contribute funds to purchase deals and get certain percentage back. Would that be similar to crowdfunding or syndication? I am not sure which terms apply here. And not sure where to start. Thanks so much. 

Hello, I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad in my 30s  and I thought I would be in real estate by 40.  Fast forward 10 years later  I have yet to invest in real estate. Lurked around BP site for the past year, have listened to  the BP Rookie Podcast on my drive to work, read books Skip the Flip and Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing; then decided to FINALLY  make an account the other day, just  accept my vulnerability and ask the forum for direction. I find all the info very overwhelming, but decided to commit  myself to making my first deal this 2024. I tried Fundrise which i thought was dipping my feet into real estate investing,  but find I want to do more of the actual owning of the property myself. The intent is for cash flow so I can be released (even partially) from my 9-5 grind. Possibly start with one duplex or a 3-family home as a long term rental. I wish I could invest in my backyard but I  live in RI and our inventory here is very expensive.  I also wish I could get my hands dirty but with my job responsibilities currently, I do not have the ability to directly oversee property rehab and will also have to rely on property managers. A few questions:

1. What US states would you recommend to invest in for a newbie like me looking to invest out of state, but hoping for something simple to start with? I was thinking of limiting it to a couple of states where we have direct flights from RI so it would be easier to fly in/out to oversee things. I read about OH, FL, NC…?

2. Once I do narrow it down to a state, how do I find reliable people to work with? Locally, we would rely on connections and word of mouth, but for an out of state person, where do you even start?

2. I found a couple of online property groups that rehab/rent out/property manage units and they help you from finding the  property then manage it for you long-term. The sites do not really divulge the specifics. I  have emailed them but did not get a response. I figured maybe they deal with investors who are more nuanced than a newbie? How do you get taken seriously when you have never done a deal??

Looking forward to hearing from anyone. Even just writing this post felt cathartic.

Hey everyone, I've had some attorneys draft a wholesale contract for me in Illinois, but now I have a really good lead in Ohio. Does anyone know the steps I take to change this contract up? For example: do I have to register my business as a foreign entity in Ohio?  or is there a "universal" wholesale contract that covers most states? In the latter case, where would I find that contra? Thanks!
