Hi Nicole! Would love to help you out - shoot me DM!

Hi Everyone!

As I'm getting closer to buying my first investment property I'm looking for recommendations on where to find a knowledgeable home inspector who has ample experience that I can connect with. Does anyone have recommendations in the Columbus, OH area or a good place to start looking for someone?

In the theme of recommendations I'm also looking for landlords insurance and umbrella insurance and what type of coverage is worth it and necessary. This is not an area I'm looking to "cut costs" in but more so want to ensure I'm proactively covered while also being cost effective. Would love to hear thoughts on this.

Thank you in advance for the help!

Hi All!

So happy to be a part of the bigger pockets community. I work in finance as a capital markets analyst and enjoy the analytical work that goes along with my role. I am really passionate about building personal wealth and financial literacy and this brought me to real estate investing. I enjoy all types of investments from building my portfolio of ETFs and stocks, fixed income securities as well as REITs and now asset accumulation. 

I am Boston based but looking in more affordable and high growth areas to buy my first property. I'm currently looking in Ohio (Columbus/Cincinnati) but am open to guidance on areas of high potential if anyone has suggestions! I am particularly interesting in hearing about areas with real estate incentives for first time buyers or investors. 

Looking forward to meeting other members and connecting with everyone; please feel free to connect or reach out!
