Beginner Wanting to learn about Real Estate

Andrew Wilson
Posted

Hi, I'm a high schooler, interested in the real estate market. I have been listening to the BiggerPockets podcast and reading through the forums. I have just a few questions. Is there a book or website for beginners interested in real estate? How do I best learn about the basics of real estate? What is the best way to start my portfolio?

@Andrew Wilson@Teresa Johnson

You've both come to the right place to get started!  I just met with @Ryan Shaffer who is also a young new investor that is starting his journey. 

I think you guys should start an accountability group!  I've found it very helpful in building my businesses to have people that you meet with regularly to help keep you accountable for your goals.  

This network here will be more than happy to answer any questions that arise along the way, which is great.  But you really need to stay focused on your goals and move toward them regularly.  There is no better way than linking up with people that are in the same stage as you, so you can brainstorm, talk strategy, encourage each other, and KEEP EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE!  

Let's GOOOOOO 😉
