Wild REAL ESTATE INVESTOR appeared!

[Zackery Engel]

Hey Everyone!

I am a 21 year old who just began looking into real estate investing. I'm a 2nd shift factory in New Hampshire, but I grew up in Houston and moved to stay with family when I was 18. I spend my free time reading business, psychology, investment, and philosophy books as well as play games (I try to avoid it to be more productive now). I also have been studying technical analysis for stocks for about 9 months (I've previously traded, but never properly studied and did things the right way). I'm working on using a Python code library called Backtrader to backtest stock strategies and analyze the statistics of how well the strategy performed. I think I'm about ready to trade which is pretty exciting! Now I'm also spending some time looking into real estate as a potential option to make my money work for me. I listen to the Real Estate Rookie podcast at work all day now!

I'm currently looking into the Houston market simply due to the fact that I'm from Houston, but I would potentially invest anywhere; we'll see how things look as I learn! I'm thinking that I'm going to do house-hacking, but I'm not too sure yet honestly. I would love to chat! Here's a few specific questions I have, but would absolutely appreciate any extra insights or advice anyone has for an absolute beginner who has no clue what he's doing:


1. What real estate investment strategies do you think are a good start for absolute beginners with no handyman skills?

2. What books, blogs, pages, channels, etc. would you suggest to learn any general beginner knowledge?

3. What are the biggest mistakes you made as a beginner real estate investor? How did you avoid these mistakes moving forward?

If you have any questions for me feel free to ask, I'll be more than happy to respond!

Cheers everyone; thanks for any responses or questions! Good luck with your investing and have a fantastic week!
