Posted

Hi BP Family,

 I am from Jacksonville,FL.My wife and I are new to real estate investing and currently seeking for our first rental property investment, preferable a multi-family home. We both have W2’s jobs for now as we growth our real estate portfolio.We are excited about this new journey and connecting other members of this group.Hopefully we could connect with someone who could be a mentor for us. I've been watching a lot of BP videos and trying to educate myself on real estate business.

Any advice or recommendation is welcome and appreciated.

Hello Rafael and welcome to BP and the world of real estate investing!

The main piece of advice I like to give new investors is this, don't get stuck in analysis paralysis.  This is where I see so many people get caught up and are never able to actually pull the trigger on an investment property.  Be ready financially and educate yourself thoroughly, then just do it.  I know I'm oversimplifying, but that's the basic formula.  I'm in Jax as well, let me know if I can help.  Good luck!
