Nurse Getting Into Real-Estate Investing!

[Michael Crist]

Hello Everyone!

I'm a registered nurse who is getting into real-estate investing! I really like the idea of BRRRR process and have been spending most of my time learning about that! I'm starting to look at finding properties in the Saint Louis area (home) by driving around and using websites like Realtor.com and Zillow. I'm also trying to learn a lot more about estimating rehab costs because in many places of Saint Louis, the buildings can be found cheap, but need ALOT of work, like full gut. So, I'm trying to do my best to learn about rehabbing costs. Eventually, I'd like to find homes outside of Missouri, but it'd be nice if my first couple were nearby.

I just recently came off of a travel contract, so I'm taking time off of work, but will eventually start working in a non-bedside RN position, hopefully. My dream would be to have enough rental properties to support myself while I pursue a doctorate degree 5-8 years from now. 

My plan is to have my first property being rented by the end of the year! I have a decent amount of capital to start with (I think) and a potential lead for a property. 

I'm hopeful that I can get to know many of you, learn a lot, and hopefully provide some value in return!
