Hello All! New to the site from Northeast Ohio
Hi everyone, my name is Nick Bregar and I have been thinking about getting into real estate investing for about 2 and half years now. I bought my first home as a foreclosure with a 203k loan. I knew nothing about ARV or the 70% rule but as they say, God looks out for old folks and fools. I lucked out and now have a ton of equity in my house.
I have a full time job and I am getting married this Saturday. I have no plans on quitting my day job as I am the primary bread winner.
With all that being said, I am starting my first 2 (of 4) real estate classes next week. Right now my ultimate goal is to fix and flip and fix and hold to rent depending on the situation. I feel like becoming a real estate agent will be a great way to introduce myself to the REI world.
My soon to be wife is very supportive and believes in me which I'm very thankful for.
I guess at some point soon I will start looking for a mentor. I planned on ingratiating myself with my teachers and hopefully that will open some doors.
Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to find a place here in this community.
-Nick
