Hello everyone. I am excited about joining this community. All of your stories are helping and educating me about things I never knew. 

My fiance and I are planning on becoming landlords in the Columbus area. We attend college now, but after graduating in 2015, we have dreams of buying our first rental property in cash. Right now we are trying to consume as much information as we can. We are both driven and young 21 & 22. Long term goals is to buy and rent out at least one property each year. So right now, we are trying to find out the best way to achieve this dream while working full time as a RN and a chemist.

Thank you everyone. I have great credit but since my partner and I would be fresh out of college, just starting out with no long history of work, we are skeptical of using the bank until we have established at least a full year of work. 
As far as the property, we are expecting to make it a rental property. The property is $23000 with the other homes on the block ranging from $56k to 106k. Since we would be dependent on our own income, we thought living in the rental would be appropriate and not rushing. Therefore the rehab would take from 2-5 months. Basically, we just want to get in the business, but we want to make sure it's the right time.

Good morning everyone! So I have a question. If I don't have enough money to renovate the house but I have the amount to pay a house in cash, should I go ahead and buy the property or should I wait until I have sufficient money to do both. 

I was thinking about buying it and living in it for a couple of months and using money from a fulltime job to pay for renovations. I'm trying not to use the bank on the first property I buy since the house will be under 25k. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone! A little about me is that I am currently in college to get my RN license but my fiance and I are interested in owning a couple of properties to rent out. We plan on locating to Columbus after graduation and starting out buying our first home with cash and making the proper improvements to make the rental home a good investment. I have no experience but have been talking to others seeing how they made their transition into investing. I look forward to hearing how you all started out and hearing any suggestions.
