Welcome to the site! The people and energy are amazing and any questions you have are quickly answered. Dive in!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. @Darrin Carey  what kind of picnic is it? Potluck? I can definitely bring something. Glad to know almost everyone is friendly.

@Jerry Padilla  Thanks for the offer! I'll definitely be contacting you. I think @Brandon Turner in Podcast 47 or 48 said go out right now and friend a banker. Glad to see that wasn't too hard. :)

Thanks @Dmitriy Fomichenko . I'll definitely check out the meet section. I've probably read close to 50 articles so far and listened to many, many podcasts. I'm super excited for the potential path this website has opened for me.

I was wondering the same thing, what's the difference between wholesaling and being a real estate agent? Is it because wholesalers are technically getting the property under contract to buy for x amount and then selling that contract for x+ y? 

Thanks guys. 

I was planning on going to the meeting this Thursday.

Hello Everyone!

My name is Tommy DeSalvo and I'm a new Real Estate Investor in Cincinnati, Ohio. I've done maintenance, repairs, and general property management tasks for multiple individuals and companies over the past 15 years. I am currently in a career shift from a CSR to a high school science teacher. 

My goals are to replace my current income with passive cash flow from four-plexes then switch to full time investing and begin getting into small-mid size apartment complexes. About a month ago I googled how to make money in real estate and came across an article by Brandon Turner "100 ways to make money in Real Estate." From there I started reading every BP article I could, then started listening to the Pod Cast, and finally decided I lurked long enough, it was time to actually join this motivated community.

Thanks for having me.
