New to Real estate investing
Just found BP a couple weeks ago, and have listened to close to one hundred hours between BP OG, and the rookie show, I'm committed and ready to pull the trigger looking for my first deal!

Now the next step is preparation. Checking your debt to income ratio. Credit score. Looking at the MLS just to get a read on the cost of areas. Identify what strategy you want to do (I. Long term rental, short term, brrrr, etc).
Just know the area you are investing in. Finally, realize this is along term setup, not get rich quick.
Preparation meets opportunity.
