I’ve been shopping around, playing with the numbers as best as i know how but I’m starting to question if I am in the right place to make this sort of investment.Background story, I just bought my first house November of 2017 (bought at 15K less than the asking price and about 45K less than the appraisal value).

I'm just crunching numbers to see what I would be willing to pay for it if I was actively in the market for another property.

It has inspired me to look into the situation actively.

I know of some investors that have up to 8 projects actively being rehabbed at once in Columbus.   

I PERSONALLY know 50%+ of active investors in the area, makes it much easier to do acquisitions because I'm able to talk freely with the majority of the market to spot trends, brainstorm and help come up with plans of action for making the area better.

Long-story short, I set a six-year goal to earn both degrees, start my real estate career with an active firm for about three years, and then to go out on my own.

Know what your local laws that might come into play are.

Its nice to know that there is such an active investor community in my area.

If you feel that you are stuck I would recommend going to a real estate meet up where you would interact with active real estate investors.

The state these are in also plays a major role as in some states you just be licensed to be the mortgage holder etc.
