Hello! I'm a Newbie from Tempe, AZ

[Rebeca B.]

I am so excited to have found this great site as I start on this new adventure of real estate! My plan is to learn, work hard and continue to learn about the world of Buy & Hold Rentals. I look forward to alleviating stress from my husband as he works many hours in the corporate world. My dream would be for him to actually leave that corporate job permanently!

Locate and attend 3 different local REIA club meetings great place to meet people gather resources and info. Here you will meet wholesalers who will provide deals and rehabbers who are cash buyers.

Then that dream will happen for you and your husband, @Rebeca B. ! Sounds like your approach is what I did with buy-and-hold properties.

Welcome Rebeca!

A lot of us indeed did get out of the corporate world and into making money for ourselves and getting some freedom! So Go For It and take him right along with you ... he'll jump right in! All the best from Los Angeles
