Getting Educated enough to DO SOMETHING

Heather Harrison
  • Tampa, FL
Posted

Hello everyone,

I have been educating myself through audio books, and REIA meetings for about a year now, but still feel like I do not know enough to really GET STARTED.

As a stay at home mom to a highly needy toddler, with a husband who works 80 hours a week.. I have very limited time to take the initial leap into completing my first deal. I evaluate deals for a few hours a day for a local, seasoned investor in the area, but that is not the big payout I was hoping for when I decided that Real Estate was the avenue I wanted to go.

Does anyone have any recommendations or advice for how I might educate myself more quickly or more effectively? I feel as though I understand A LOT more than some other newbies that I see already doing deals... and yet, I feel like I don't know EXACTLY how to begin, Any advice, anecdotes, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

Happy Investing!

Heather
