Hi,

I am new to real estate investing. I need a major change in my life. I can no longer work for someone else. I am to unhappy. I have always been interested in real estate but never had the nerve to get involved. I have reached a point of no return. It's either this or nothing. I am in the learning stage, so any and all information I gather will be helpful. Thanks

    @Monica Wright! Glad to see you on Bigger Pockets! Bryans road? That is actually not too far from where i just bought a property. I know your feeling, I've had it myself. Investing in real estate is not an overnight thing but BP is a great place to start and pick a strategy. While I was working as an employee I would listen to the Rich Dad and Bigger Pockets podcasts on the way too and from work. It changed my mindset and motivated me. I still listen to audiobooks and podcast every day while I drive. I wish you the best and please feel free to reach out anytime - but always happy to talk. 

    I enjoyed reading this last blog from BP as - http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/09/24/real-estate-investor-morning/

    Welcome to BP, Monica. As someone who has been there, I have to say I appreciate you candid comment regarding the W-2 income. Congratulations making the commitment and focussing your efforts on sharpening your REI skills. I recommend spending some time under the "Learn" tab above. There are many great resources available including the podcasts and some ebooks, which I found to be quite valuable. In addition to the resources, there are many experienced and savvy members on BP who are willing to answer questions and share advice.

    Best wishes, 

    Chris

    Welcome to BP @Monica Wright 

    I hear your frustration. However do not start thinking real estate is going to be a quick fix to your problems. It is a great way to build wealth over the long run.

    Welcome to BP and good for you.  I wish more people thought more carefully about what they want in life and how best to get there. There isn't anything more important.  :) 

    Let me know if there's anything I can ever do to help you.  I'm always happy to help people get started on their journey.

    Hello Everyone,

    Thanks for all the Welcomes. I have been spending my days reading, listening and researching. OMG.. It's a lot of information. I completely understand how committed you have to be to be involved in this stuff. If I wasn't at the end of my rope, I would walk away. But I am at the end of my rope. I'm so over working for with no end insight. So I will keep reading and listening and soon I'll be asking questions to improve my understanding. At least I have this BiggerPockets as a resource. thanks again.
