Hello! New to Investing

Kristen Franks
Posted

Hello all, I am new to real estate investing. Well at least I am new to doing it. Years ago my late husband and I went to a Charles Givens Seminar and my dad bought me the Carlton Sheets program a few years after that.  He was certain this was the way to build wealth.  I thought it was just for rich people to do.  After that at some point he had me read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and I knew he was right that it was the way to build wealth, but I didn't think it was something attainable for me.  I recently did the WREIN Seminar and started following Jerry Norton and BiggerPockets and decided that it wasn't just for the rich and I could begin with what I have and build from there.  I have been voraciously studying and planning and implementing for the past four months and have just completed my first wholesale deal (closes a week from today). So sorry it took so long dad but I am now officially a real estate investor.  My goal is to wholesale to raise capital to do flips for shorter term investing and to buy and hold rentals for long term investing.
