Hello, my name is Derek and I am hoping to learn more about real estate investing and hopefully get into the game someday.

Establish long-term relationships with them.My career has been a wild ride of experiences and oh-so-valuable lessons.

He’s an investor too so he knows how to play the game. lol

I’m established in my career and not looking to make RE my full time but I don’t have a ton of capital and I enjoy modeling and underwriting and being hands on with management so the passive/syndication route isn’t an option.

Soon, there will be a ton of posts below from agents in Columbus and Cleveland to "help" you, but you already know where you want to be.I wouldn't be thinking STR for Ohio unless you are doing woodsy, which can work, but the table stakes are high on those (swimming holes, saunas, game rooms, hot tubs).
