Do I Have The Potential For Real Estate?
Hi everyone excuse my ignorance I’m new here, I need some advice regarding the topic.
So I’ve recently come upon some videos of big pockets on YouTube and it got me wondering if I have what it takes to get into real estate too.
First and foremost I gotta admit that I honestly don’t know **** about real estate, I’m 23 living at my parents house, I have about 60k dollars in my bank account and I make about 2.5k a month working in customer service and I have no expenses.
Let’s say that theoretically I’ve gathered myself the necessary discipline and education to get into real estate, how do I even know if I have the potential at all. How much money do I need to start with and what steps should I follow to get started?
