Nurse looking to start investing in rental properties (short & long) and wholesale

[Catarino Perez]

Hello everyone, 

I'm Cat, a CRNA based out of Howell, MI. My wife and I are excited to take the leap into the real estate world. I became interested in real estate in my early 20's after I rented out a few bedrooms to some close friends in Minnesota.  When I realized how much houses can appreciate and the benefit of others paying your mortgage, I was hooked into real estate and wanted to keep exploring other avenues of cash flow.  My goals with BiggerPockets are to get a better understanding of wholesale, subject 2, and rental properties. I hope to buy and rent out my first rental property before 2024. Although I am aware that I am new to the game, I feel much better knowing there are many knowledgable investors that can help my wife and I through the novice phase of real estate investing. Thank you and can't wait to meet and make connections with other likeminded individuals.

Hey Cat, you're in the right place! First, I recommend to read Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Millionaire Next Door. Next. Also, you should attend some local real estate meet ups in your area. I am sure there are some great meet ups in Detroit and probably Lansing as well.
