With your first investments, you usually aren't going to be getting the best deal but you are just trying to get in the game to a certain degree. 

I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio and I want to get into the real estate game here. 

Do you have a primary residence that will get your foot into the door of real estate and help you learn the game of investing and all that is encompasses?

I know it’s a numbers game and would get a property if I did it more.

Self doubt is part of the game. 

Still somewhat new to the investment game.

You can usually google search people or check court records.Or you can hire a PI too.That said I would be careful with working with under 2M net worth CONtractors and why I like syndications where the people you are working with have skin in the game.

I've read quite a few books and have watched and listened to countless hours of podcasts and videos over the past couple of months, trying to immerse myself and soak up as much RE investment information as possible.

But in the vacation rental game it can be just the opposite. 

We are talking about switching up the game plan a little and using the BRRR method.
