How do I get started with Real Estate Investing?!
Hello. My name is Cynthia (Cindy). I have been following as much as I can most of the questions and responses posted.
I have an opportunity to purchase the building I currently reside in from my landlord. How perfect does my credit have to be to get started?! I have been working on it for the last year and have brought it up point-wise; however, there are some things that still need correcting.
Should I try to get pre-approved first (as if I were buying my own single family home)? Should I use a real estate agent?
Any advise and suggestions are welcomed.
Respectfully,
Cindy Ellis (New Investor)
