Hi everyone! Aspiring Real Estate Investor here!
Hi all!
My name is Chris Leavitt and I just wanted to introduce myself into the Bigger Pockets family! I live in West Boylston, MA and I want to start getting some skin the the game of real estate. I have been listening to podcasts (Including BP) and listening to audiobooks, as my job requires me to drive all day. I have become FASCINATED in the world of real estate and I am wondering if anyone has suggestions on where to start. I have a house in my name with a lot of equity in it (inherited), I have great credit, and some liquid funds. I was thinking taking some equity out of my house and getting a rental property? Maybe a duplex or triplex? I am also interested in the flipping game. Any suggestions? Thanks all!

online gambling, crypto currency and NFT's are not your forte? Great you came to the right place. Slow and steady wins the race, brother. How much equity can you comfortably pull out and what is the biggest apartment building you can buy in your local area? Start there. Plenty of help in this forum will come pouring in soon.
