Excellent point.

As a new investor, starting in your local market where you have a better understanding is often advisable.All the methods you mentioned are excellent ways to begin your journey.

I do have an excellent cleaner but the pricing isn’t cheap.

I used to define markets by state but now we do by zip codes and strategy. there's 440 zips in ohio, 7 of which we do business in which are downtown columbus and that is the urban core and urban core adacjent. rents are higher, property values are higher, developer and density friendly, low risk land or infill land, plus fastest appreciation in the market.

They lend nationwide and he's excellent resource for 1st time homebuyers.

Columbus is an appreciation focused market that is one of the fastest growing cites in the U.S..

The BP community is an excellent resource for networking and learning from experienced investors.

I don't think new investors learn the value of an excellent investor-friendly agent.

If you have an excellent financial advisor who understands real estate investing I'd be interested in talking to him/her.

I thought that sounded like a great way to go and applied his strategy using Excel progs. to track my progress.
