For those who have already started their real estate journey, how did you start?
Hello Everyone!
My name is Andrew. I am 24 and married to my amazing wife. I also serve in the Georgia National Guard so I have access to the VA loan. My dad was always a pretty savvy real estate investor, mainly specializing in vacation rentals and I remember going to tour 10s or hundreds of properties and loved it. I currently work for a luxury building materials company and my commute is about an hour and a half each way every day. I decided to use this time to listen to audio books on real estate investing so I started out with the guide to investing in real estate, and I am currently on the guide to flipping houses.
I would love to hear from some of you guys who have already started their journey (or maybe are well into their journey!) on how you got started, what mistakes did you make, how much money do you feel a person must start with, what did your first deal look like, and which method of real estate investing did you do and what are you doing now (rentals, flips, etc.)
Thanks!
Andrew
