First property journey

[Gerald Donaire]

What’s up Bigger pockets!

I’ve been learning about real estate investing for about two years now and I’m happy to say that I’m closing on my first property :)

With the help from listening to podcasts, reading books, and attending real estate investor meet ups, I’ve gained more interest and learned so much. After awhile I had told myself to make the jump and went ahead and got into action!

Before talking to any professionals I knew I had to get my finances situated and goals straight. I know exactly what I want to do and who i would have to work with. I’m fortunate to have a father who is in the construction business that is teaching me the process of estimating and bidding projects, as well as other aspects of the construction business. I have an uncle that has some skin in real estate investing and he was more than happy to help me along my journey of acquiring properties. With both my Dad and Uncle on my side as my mentors, my scarcity mindset had turned to certainty and confidence. If it wasn’t for them I would not be where I am now.

With that said, I’m ready to take on my new journey...
