Newbie to real estate :)

[Andrew Maldonado]

Hello Team my name is Andrew i go by Drew :) i got into Real estate early this month fresh off YouTube videos and Real estate rookie podcast ! I am fresh into this investment and would love to learn more as i go through this journey . What got me into Real Estate honestly I was just scrolling through tik tok and passed this video about Real Estate !  Long Story short I'm exhausted working a 9-5 exhausted working for someone else dreams and exhausted of putting time into a business to get a lil extra money to go on a short vaca only to come back to the reality of working for someone else I want to work into an investment that will invest into my trip my business and go on a short term vaca or long term but the only difference would be I don't have to come back to the reality of working for someone else my reality would be …"Where to next" or "What properties am I going for" while sipping on my strawberry Marg somewhere around the world :D

Hey @Andrew Maldonado! Welcome to the great big world of Real estate. You will find no shortage of great info and talent here. Sounds like you are ready to go and have a very relatable story. I've heard great things regarding our neighbor to the north, Cheyenne recently, and I think you may find it a good market to get started in. Otherwise, Colorado definitely has some great opportunities and up-and-coming areas in the northern part if you are a bit more mobile or remote.

I would definitely recommend you dive as much into the resources on here, as well as listen to podcasts, read books, and hit up some meetups. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people is the best way to get started, but remember that there is no replacement for experience, so even if you don't feel ready, I would jump in sooner than later. Personally, I would look for a House Hack first. It will be investing on training wheels and you will be able to minimize your living expense. A great option to minimize your risk, and out-of-pocket expenses :) The first steps would be finding an Investor Agent, and getting to know your local market.
