Just Getting Started
Hey Folks! I've decided it's time to take the plunge and get started. I've been telling myself for decades that I want to get into real estate, but I got burned early on and have been very hesitant to get back in the game. It's time though. I turn 40 next year and time is passing by too fast to wait any longer. I'd love to make some connections in here, if there is anyone open to offering some advice on finding my first rental property. I need to increase my cash flow so that's the primary goal.

@Ryan Palmer welcome to the forums! There's tons of different way to go about this. If you have the time and effort to spend I would recommend finding an investor friendly agent and either BRRR or find a quality property on the open market to turn into a rental. If you don't have the time and don't want to spend the effort there are turnkey providers that are vertically integrated who offer properties that are already performing. I work with hundreds of investors who chose this route and they love it but it's not a fit for everyone.
Best of luck investing! Let us know how the journey goes
