Hi guys, I'm new here and to real estate I'm originally from Asheville, NC but the Army moved me to Clarksville, TN I'm looking forward to getting my first rental property and keep learning and expanding my portfolio so I can set myself up in a better position for the future so I can spend more time with family and friends and not be forced to have a W2 job for 50+ hours a week.

I am considering investing in Ohio, based on successful investments by friends but am open to other areas provided the fundamentals make sense.I look forward to connecting with fellow investors, real estate agents, and property managers to share insights and identify promising opportunities.Thanks,Julien

Hi Carlo,In each of my locations (FL, IN & CO), it was slightly different...in Indiana, where I'm originally from, I asked friends and family for their suggestions on plumbers, painters, handyman, etc.

Two investors and myself are looking to purchase our next multiple family property together.

Hey - In March, I purchased 2 4-plexes in Las Vegas as an investment.

Thinking the Denver / Boulder / nearby areas because I would love to live around there, have lots of friends around that area - including my real estate agent who I'm good friends with, and its an appreciating market. 

Where have you lived, where do you want to live, where do you have close friends that live, and where have you heard of good things about investing?

What is the purchase process like.

I hope to purchase my first investment property by the end of the year, initially in Northwest Indiana, likely Hobart.

I'm curious about the following: 1) If you have purchased a property, what are the pros/cons of doing so through your IRA?
