If you have any advice for someone just getting started, I’d love to hear it!

I had the initial call with a PadSplit sales person, but I wanted to talk to somebody who's actually doing it to get their perspective and advice.

I'll be specifically looking to start in the Cincinnati, Ohio and lean towards targeting buy and hold single family and potentially multi family as well.Any advice is appreciated and I look forward to connecting. 

Quote from @Bree Jimenez: Hello everyone, my name is Bree I am a new investor looking into get my first rental property and try the BRRR method what tips and advice does anyone have when getting your first rental property?

my best advice is to skip the flipping.

Sounds like you put in a ton of work to maximize the value, and that basement addition was a smart move.I noticed you mentioned the NYC luxury tax and some of the rental pricing challenges—have you considered expanding your portfolio in markets where you don’t have to deal with those kinds of headaches?

My biggest piece of advice would be to find someone who is in the position you would want to be in 10, 15, or 20 years and meet for coffee.

This experience taught me to trust my instincts more and never skip due diligence, even in areas I am less familiar with like basements and water intrusion.Any advice on how I should proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like there were some lean years but your persistence has paid off big time in terms of appreciation on both rents and home value.

I have 3 MTRs in the same neighborhood as you it sounds like.
