Newbie from Olympia, Washington
My name is Paul Moore (Call me Paulie please) and I live in Olympia, Washington state. I am interested in real estate investing and developing as it is what I wish to go for. I currently am unemployed, my age is 18 and in college completing classes that will further my chances into becoming a successful individual in the real estate market. My main goal is to survive through economic downfalls and also have the opportunity to see and visit the ones I love and hold dearly. One other personal thing is I wanted to show the world that even people with disabilities are capable of financial stability. I found Bigger Pockets by searching through the web, and as it seemed....Well everyone here had similar interests in it so I decided to join forth.
My main niche hasn't really been decided. I don't have the most amount of free time in this world and the same goes for every person. Since I am in college, I would have to focus on short-term goals for the time being. I will say that even though education goes before this, I do have a ton of time which is unusual. I have Monday, Saturday, and Sunday off each week since college is non-traditional. Plus my own time-management skills are unparalleled and therefore have time needed to do stuff. I want to do passive income, but college hinders it. Real Estate can help pay my student loans as well as assist me in seeing my beloved family who are actually on the other side of the United States.
The big questions I have now is...
"Where do I begin now? Since at this time I would have to focus on short-term goals, what options would be present to fulfill such?"
"I expressed interest in commercial real estate, but heard that it is even harder and riskier than residential real estate. Is such very true?"
"I actually did try looking around houses close to me, but the thing is I found lots of houses for sale from real estate companies and at least two that were "For Sale" by the owners. Is it possible to make a nice deal from real estate agents/companies?"
