I'm Fernando, 23 years old. How are you guys? Well I'm new to bigger pockets website, not only that but I'm new to everything in real estate. Trying to learn something new and better than what I do in my life. I'm trying to get into whole sales, short sales, and or fix and flips. I'm trying to figure out what my first steps should be. I have been doing a lot of research on these types of businesses but I still have little to no idea. I can't really get a good grasp on how to start off. Could anyone lead me in the right direction?? Thanks would love to hear from you guys.
