Looking for advice for a first time Buyer/invester
Hello all,
I am new to Bigger Pockets and am looking to start my journey for buying, renting, and maybe flipping houses, so what would be the best advice that can be given, I have already been listening to the podcast.
Thank you,
Justin

Figure out what your goals are. What do you want to get out of this and when? Figure out your WHY - why are you here? Go DEEP on that. What will motivate you enough to get up early and stay up late working on your real estate investments?
