Can we do this?

Jordan R. Turner
Posted

I am in serious need of advice and I believe this may be the perfect place to find the answers i need. My son is currently incarcerrated and will be for around 6 more years. He recently picked up a bigger pockets book and in just a couple of weeks has finished his third one. He is convinced that we can begin investing in real estate in the near future, but i am not. Yes i would love and could much use some extra income. However, I am 65 with no capital and average credit. Can you please advise as to if and how investing in real estate for someone as me could be realistic...maybe your personal experiece will help change my mind. Thanks

You should read the Bigger Pockets book Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down. It will help you decide not only if you can, but also give you an idea of a path to take.
