Newbie Investor joining BP

[Kenneth Mainor]

Hello everyone I’m a semi-newbie investor. I’ve have been dipping my toe on the real estate investing world for about 7 years now (saying that out loud makes it seems crazy to be anywhere near a newbie level). I started looking into real estate as a way to financial independence around that time and was offered to buy my first property by a family member who was looking to leave the investment world. I jumped on the opportunity thinking that this was going to be a surely successful venture. I WAS SURELY WRONG ! over the past 7 years I’ve had dealt with countless of bad contractors, several incidents with occupants of the neighborhood that the property is in ( once I walked in on squatters and got into a physical confrontation) , and of course the relentless pursuit of hungry investors calling me and any family member that tracing programs associates with me about wanting to buy my property all while dealing with a career/industry change and finishing college during a pandemic 😮‍💨.so here I am recent graduate ready to finally devote the majority of my focus to getting over my newbie investor hill. I’m currently reading “Rental Property Investing” by Brandon Turner and started listening to the rookie podcast everyday. I just want to be in a a space where I can learn how to finally make my property turn a profit and the foundation I need to forward in my real estate journey
