New to investing

Posted

Hello all! My name is Abby and Im very new to investing. I know little to nothing and I do not have a sphere. I decided to get my real estate license thinking that would teach me what I needed to know. Although it may help in the long run I know there’s a lot more to learn. Im stuck and don’t know where to begin. I don’t know what I can offer but I would very much like to get to connected with this community of investors. I’m so ready to learn!

You're 'dart throwing."  I see a lot of it here on BP.  Mentoring isn't the answer - nor is a real estate license or a podcast.  You need to figure out something larger:   what do you want to achieve, what do you want for yourself?  Forget the tasks - like house hacking...geez - really?  As a former wealth manager, I can tell you for a fact that wealthy people do things a whole lot different than those who are not.  They KNOW what they are doing, KNOW where they are headed, KNOW their business, and have a passion, commitment, and focus to multiple facets in their lives.  

Step back and figure out what you want to accomplish, what it is going to take to do it - financially, intellectually, emotionally - and decide if you're willing to do what it is going to take to achieve it.  Stop dart throwing - it will get you nowhere.  Expect more of yourself so you get more for yourself.

Best...
