New Invester in Sourthern New Hampshire
Hi All, 33 yr old newbie from New Hampshire here looking to dive into real estate. My wife and I have just begun over the past several weeks researching and trying to decide our focus. I am thinking that buy and hold single family homes or small multi-family units is the focus I want to be in. My goal is to be financially independent and not have to rely on a paycheck all the while being able to build a portfolio that can be handed down to my 2 kids. I am currently taking a real estate investing class through UNH, listening to the bigger pockets podcasts, working on finding some club meetings to attend (suggestions welcome) and building a team of people to work with. Any suggestions for what aspects of the business I should be focused on learning first (property analysis, networking, financing)? I look forward to learning more in the coming months leading up to my first purchase.
