I have lived throughout the northern part of the 128 beltway for coming on seven years including college, now residing in Burlington, MA.After spending most of my time after graduation aggressively paying down my high-interest student loans, I quickly caught the investor's bug.

I would advocate buying some properties through other sources, learn the ropes, and one day graduate to the auctions.

With 6,000 plus graduates a year, being a state capitol and the tax incentives offered to companies to locate in Columbus, there is no shortage of tenants.  

I graduated from college and bought my first primary residence.

I actually graduated from Gregory-Portland HS a long long time ago

I’m a a graduate with a Bachelor degree in Information Technology & Management.

I grew up in Port Alice and graduated from NISS back in 96... so yes a little older than you.

Graduated in 2012.Personally I love when young ladies like me get into real estate and investing so I'm excited you're here!

As well as being the state capitol, The Ohio State  University graduating 6,000 plus students a year and the tax incentives that attract business, there is a tremendous amount of building and development going on all over the city right now.  

Based on your questions it would be advisable that you do far more research on finances and investing rather than start with actually researching the mechanics of the purchase.You are starting kindergarten asking questions about the college graduation ceremony.
