Steps to getting started
Hello everyone I'm a new aspiring RE investor and I am just trying to get some opinions from everyone on what a good starting checklist to getting started would be. I am working on building my credit because I used to be really bad at letting things go to collections however I never really had a good paying job until now and my credit score has risen 50 point in just a few months. I would love to start learning from someone who has experience who wouldn't mind taking someone under their wing. I am willing to prove myself but I can only learn so much by reading books and listening to podcasts I learn much more by doing. I however just have no idea on how to even begin, especially living in such an expensive market such a Denver. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Find a way to be around a high volume amount of real estate transactions. After awhile it’s like being a cashier at a grocery store. If possible find a side hustle real estate related. Could be wholesale could be as simple as helping flippers clean up trash.
