Quote from @Abass Aden:

Hi everyone! I’m Abass, and I’m excited to join this community. I’m based in Ohio and recently started learning about real estate wholesaling and flipping houses. I actually found out about this forum through Brandon Turner’s book, Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down. I’m here to connect, learn from experienced investors, and hopefully share some insights as I gain experience. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and contributing where I can! 


Hey Abass, 

I was raised here in Columbus, Ohio and have 4 doors here. Would love to meet you and try to see how I can help you get started. Welcome to BP!

Hello BiggerPockets community!

I’m Sa'Mara Roberts, and I’ve been active in real estate wholesaling for four years, focusing on land properties. While I can’t promote my company directly, I’m looking to connect with cash buyers in key markets such as Florida, Arizona, Michigan, Alabama, Nevada, Ohio, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has successfully built relationships with cash buyers.

  • What strategies or platforms have you found most effective for connecting with them?
  • Are there specific networking events or forums within the BiggerPockets community that you recommend?

Thank you for your insights! I’m eager to learn and connect with others in the industry.

Best,
Sa'Mara


The biggest thing I would do is try to network with realtors as they probably have different types of buyers. If you can build relationships with them you will be able to find buyers for your deals!

Hello All-

My name is Nik and I am sort of making a comeback to real estate investing. Looking to connect with the seasoned folks, mentors, and other like minded folks.  

My background really comes more from construction and development in residential and retail construction. Over the years I have also built out several new construction residential homes and townhomes.  I am more looking to get further into either flip or rental properties and would love to be able to connect with folks in that side of investing.   Currently looking at Akron, OH and Bessemer, AL areas but open to expand. 

Welcome back to BP Nik!

You already have a huge advantage when it comes to investing with your construction background. If you are able to network with someone that can give you consistent deal flow and partner with people that will provide the funding you will be in really good shape. I invest here in Columbus and looking to start investing out in Cleveland/Akron area as well!

 Hi Juan. Welcome to BP. Being a CPA will help you in your journey for sure.

Hey Ray! I’m actually looking for an out of state property, being specific in the Great Lakes region (OH, PA, IL, etc) and I’m looking for my first investment property

Hey Juan,

I 4 doors out here in Ohio and would be more than happy to help you get started investing here. The biggest thing you can do is build your CORE 4 which consists of getting a great realtor, contractor, property manger, and attorney wherever you choose to start investing.Let me know how I can help you get going

Hi everyone, 

I live in California and have been meeting a lot of investors who prefer to invest out of state due to California being so expensive as well as the aggressive tenant protection laws we have here. I have heard both the good and the bad sides of investing out of state and so I am curious to know what other's experience has been?  I have mostly heard about LTRs specifically in Indiana, Alabama, Texas, Michigan, and Ohio but I am open to hearing anyone's experience anywhere. Would really like to hear your thoughts!


Hey Alyssa, 

I would say try to figure out what market you want to be in by talking to other people's experience and then go from there. I invest here in Columbus, Ohio and have 4 doors that give me decent cash-flow and still looking to add more units here. Very optimistic about the appreciation here with businesses such as Intel, Microsoft, Google, etc moving here. Let me know how I can help.

Looking for a mentor to help me get started. I am interested in purchasing a multi family home in an out of state market that’s better than where I live (Oregon/washington). 

I have the financing but not the knowledge on how to pick a city and get started with an investment. Would be willing to pay a mentor to help me through this process. 


Hey Ariel, 

The biggest thing in choosing which city to invest in is to see what your goals are and see if that market aligns with what you want. For example, Cleveland and Dayton are great cash-flow markets. Columbus is more for appreciation but has a little bit of cash-flow as well.  Let me know if you have any questions, I would love to help.

Hi BiggerPockets Community!

My name is Michael, and I’m excited to join BiggerPockets and dive deeper into real estate investing! I’ve been studying real estate for the past few months, reading books and absorbing as much as I can. I feel so fortunate to have found BiggerPockets, as it’s been a goldmine of information and resources.

Currently, I'm leaning towards the BRRRR strategy as my primary niche. Living in Southern California, I realize the market here is quite expensive, and I'm not sure if it's the best place to get started. I'd love to hear from experienced investors: do you think it's possible to do BRRRR in a high-cost area, or would you recommend looking out of state?

Additionally, what’s a realistic amount of capital needed to get started? I know this can vary, but any ballpark figures or advice on funding options would be helpful. I just finished Brandon Turner’s Investing in Real Estate With No Money Down and learned a ton, so I’m open to creative financing ideas too!

Thanks so much for any insights you can share. I’m eager to learn and grow in this community.


Hey Michael, 

Welcome to BP! The biggest thing you should do is figure out which market you are trying to invest in and do some heavy research in that area. From there you build your CORE 4 which includes a great realtor, contractor, property manager, and attorney. If you have not invested before and you want to get into BRRRR's, you need to find someone to partner with that has experience and see how you can provide value to them.

Hi all, I'm looking for a property manager in Columbus. I have two duplexes, both fully occupied. Prefer someone with experience in mid term rentals as one of the properties is very close to Children's Hospital and am interested in turning it into a MTR. Also open to anyone with section 8 experience. 

Please send any recommendations! Thanks all! 


 I have a few property managers that I could recommend to you!

Quote from @Emily Diep:

Hi all!

I am currently a college student with an estimated graduation date for June 2026, and I hope to include real estate investing in the future (~2 years). I am currently based in Los Angeles, but would like to invest out of state for long term rentals. I am hoping to learn from a mentor and I am willing to help with real estate work to gain more experience in this field. Looking forward to hearing from you!


Hey Emily,

I would do heavy research before choosing a market to invest out of state in. Anyone can invest out of state but you need to choose a market where it makes the most sense for what you are looking for such as appreciation or cash flow. Biggest thing I would do is to continue to talk to other people that own a decent amount of units and try to learn from them
