@Jered Sturm Thank you! I have actually listened to your podcast episode multiple times now and have gotten a lot out of it.

@Jack Butala I appreciate it!

@Paul Garcia Thank you for the suggestion. Do you have any suggestions to learn more about financing? Such as books, videos, articles, etc?

@Brad Clarizio Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! its nice to hear that someone with the similar goals is getting it done in Columbus. It would great to connect with both you and John Horner.

Hello BP Community!

My Name is John Belluardo and I am a junior accounting student at Ohio State. I just wanted to introduce myself and start to connect with the community. I have been studying real estate for the past couples months, saving a bit of money, and trying to build my credit. I have decided that I would like to use "buy and hold" investments to build wealth through cash flow and slowly increasing equity. A goal of mine is to create enough income through real estate so that I have the option to "retire" from the corporate world by the age of 25 to transition to real estate full time. I just turned 20, and am currently wanting to start investing in Columbus, OH. I do have student debt but I am looking to "house hack" my first duplex/triplex by the time I turn 21. I have and internship with an accounting firm for this winter so ideally when I graduate I will have a nice 9-5 income to invest with. My investing goal is to have 50 doors by 25 that cash flow at least 100 dollars a month.

What are your thoughts?

If you're in Columbus or a similar situation I would love to connect and hear what you have to say.

Any thoughts on the Columbus, Ohio market? or creative financing to be able to buy a house with student loans?

Thanks for taking the time to hear my story!
