Newbie guides?
Hey, everyone! My name is Jeremiah and I'm new here to bigger pockets (which I'm sure will become blatantly obvious in due time haha)
Recently, after struggling for a long time of not knowing what I'd wish to pursue in life, I've come to a realization that I'd love to be involved in real estate.
I'm in love with houses and the renovation process, I have managerial experience and I'm driven to a fault!
My only problem is
I'm broke
I'm only 24
I have ZERO credit (never had a credit card)
And I did mention I was broke, right?
I decided that this IS what I want to strive for no matter the sacrifices. (Land lording/ rentals). I just need a kick in the right direction.
I've read all of the "get started with nothing" articles and I'm such a newbie that I can't really even follow that!
I'm not sure where to actually get started!
Should I get a realtors license? Should I rent to own? How do you get a second property after your first and a third? Do I need an investor? Where to find one? What type of loans?...
I have so many questions (I'm always trying to learn something) and have no idea how to answer them.
Are there any recommendations you guys can give me for a complete how to for getting started in real estate? Books, programs, podcasts, articles? I'll basically read stone tablets at this point.
Thank you guys for you input in advance. I'm excited to hear what types of advice I'll get from other newbies and veterans alike!
