Hi, I am an interested investor, looking to connect with investors offline and online.

It's great to have you here.Here are some recommendations for you:Find and connect with other BP members that are in your area: http://www.biggerpockets.com/m...Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you: http://www.biggerpockets.com/a...Read Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/r...Check out BP Money Podcast: https://www.biggerpockets.com/..Wishing you the best!

I'm really just looking to connect with someone that has experience with a similar scenario.

To answer your question, yes I think there are many opportunities here if you know where to look and with whom to get connected with.

Gaining knowledge about various tactics, current market conditions, and financing options for real estate can help you make better decisions.Attend meetings, make connections with seasoned investors, and get in touch with local real estate agents.

Let’s also connect maybe you can give me some inside scoop about Colombus Ohio. 

Happy to connect and answer any more questions you may have. 

Connect with me if you're interested and good luck!!

Guessing not, so you have zero experience and don't even know what you don't know.Suggest you connect with investors local to you and at least learn how flips are done locally before you consider doing them out of state.Otherwise, what @James Wise said.

If you are going to invest in another market, I believe a good realtor is imperative, It will save you quite a bit of time learning the market and if they are investor friendly, they can also send you off market opportunities, connect you with HML, and provide you with ARVs / Rental rates.
