New To Real Estate Investing
Hello to all,
My name is Michael, I’m 25 years old, married and have a daughter. Although I started my life a little early, my family pushes me to becoming the best version of myself. I always talked to my wife how I want to invest in real estate just like my father did. We currently live rent free ( Father’s Apartment ) and are currently saving for our first property. I love the idea of buying an older home, fixing it up, and selling it for a profit. I’m a blue collar guy, so I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty in the process. I have contractors in my family as well. I’m currently reading the book “How To Invest In Real Estate” again, completely new to all this. Are there any tips that I could benefit from? How to obtain capital to get started? Any books I should read to learn more? Again, any advice I would completely appreciate it.
Thank You

HI Michael,
Welcome to BP! That's awesome that you are getting started early. I know your daughter with greatly appreciate the generational wealth! If a turnkey approach to RE investing ever interests you, then you should check out Turnkey Revolution by Chris Clothier. Doing it all yourself can be time consuming but defiantly helps when you have contractors in your family. Should turnkey ever interest you, I would love to answer any questions you might have. Best of luck to you on this new journey!
