When I was about 21 years old I paid $4k for a online real estate investing class because of a seminar to find out a lot of their strategies weren’t even legal in Ohio I quickly got discouraged and began working then I figured that maybe I could learn some important trades (electrical, hvac, plumbing) I could get a head start to real estate investing so after 10 years I feel like I’m ready but I am nervous because it took so much hard work to save up the money I have to invest and I would hate to make a terrible decision so please if there’s anyone whose experienced in Cleveland investing please give me a better understanding I’ve read so many books but just need actual guidance Thank you Jaron Collier
