Great place to buy because of Intel plant $20 billion; Google building 3 data centers; Amazon & Meta buying hundred acres of land!

My name is Hogan Chouinard and I am new to real estate investing, I have been wanting to get involved with real estate for a while because I want to give myself financial freedom in the future by putting in the extra work right now, I want to start a real estate portfolio that I can continue to build on over time for years to come, and I am hoping that I can meet some people on bigger pockets that can help me along the way!

Just wondering if anyone has done a similar process in the LA county and what are the hurdles to do this process?

We need more energy for data centers (already an issue) and we need much more capable batteries for robots.If a robot is flipping burgers you can just keep it stationary and plugged in, but if you want a robot to move around on a construction site and build a home you need freedom from the cord and a lot of power to lift heavy objects.

Hi all, I’m hoping to gain some insight on the timeline for evictions in Fulton County.

The biggest news lately is Intel's $20 billion investment to build chip manufacturing plants in Licking County, which is projected to create thousands of new jobs.

We are complete rookies lol , but we are ready to begin our journey to building our portfolio.

Yes but does does not hurt to network now right and build your connections?

Hi Michael,I like your thoughts of building a large portfolio because it's very important in sub $100,000 markets like Ohio.A large portfolio = A safe portfolio.Personally, I've always been a big believer in buying with cash.Less is more.Once you gain experience and understanding the true income vs expenses of your portfolio.Then look at using leverage for faster growth.It takes many years to learn a market along with establishing a solid understanding of it's "in's and out's" from a people/team perspective.As investors we should always reverse engineer and protect the bottom line first and foremost before looking toward expansion and growth.My "cash only" mentality has served me well over the years in my businesses and real estate endeavors.Especially when things turned South and they always eventually do.Start slow, start small, buy with cash and build from there.Just my opinion and wishing you much successps.

Reaching out, having conversations and building relationships is how you add them to "your team".
