I am new and I want to learn more

[Joe Casey]

Hey everyone! I’m new to the world of real estate and really excited to dive in and learn as much as I can. I’m fascinated by the potential of real estate as a way to build wealth and gain practical skills, but I’m just starting out and looking for guidance.

If you’re experienced in the field, I’d love any advice you’re willing to share about getting started, especially if you’ve found success as a beginner. I’m eager to learn from people who have been through it already and are open to sharing their knowledge. Looking forward to connecting with and learning from you all!

Hi Joe, the best step is action, but you cannot take action without knowledge. (If you have not already) read enough books on real estate to increase your knowledge base. Repetitively reading/hearing about something often leads to action, but make sure you don't get caught in the knowledge-gathering phase forever!

After you feel confident in understanding real estate as an investment vehicle, decide how you want to begin your investing journey. Once you have your strategy/goals, begin underwriting as many opportunities as you see in that realm. A lot of it might feel like wasted time, but it's just practice until you find a deal that works and you close. 

After that, just rinse and repeat. It's that easy right? 

It's also great to find a mentor that can show you the ropes (I would know very little without my mentor). But make sure you can provide them value. Someone will not just be your mentor because you asked them to.
