Getting started Investing

[Bryan Strain]

Good afternoon everyone, just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself to the community. My name is Bryan Strain, I am 31 years old and I am located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I'm very interested in becoming a real estate investor and just trying to find some people, resources, etc., to help and provide some information along the way! I've owned a home with my girlfriend now, going on 3 years. We were able to get a FHA loan on this home right before Covid shut downs started so we were able to secure a pretty good interest rate. My goal is to finish updating some of the home, (kitchen, bathroom, main bedroom and landscaping) before I sell it though. The process of buying, fixing, and reselling has really caught my eye over the last year or so. I have some funds saved up now where I would be able to put a down payment on another home, but the process of trying to get started is where I'm stuck at. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! I've read a couple books and have been a heavy listener of the Bigger Pockets podcast within the last year. My main goal right now is to try and gain enough knowledge as a I possibly can before throwing any money in. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated! I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday evening!
