BP hello, I have been dreaming real estate for the last few nights. Quick back story I have always wanted to own property, my uncle owns a lot of homes and I really admired him. Back when I was in my 20s I bought the Carlton Sheets penny on the dollars information. I wasn't credit ready, nor was I motivated it went to waste. So fast forward to my 30th birthday in 2013 I was getting ready to try and buy my first unit in a apartment complex, the seller wanted to sell 2 units under 120k. I couldn't get it because the complex wasn't FHA approved. To this day I am kicking myself to not try to get it approved or try other options, so I purchased my own home to live in, now I want to get me something similar to what I seen in that apartment complex. I recently attend the Rich Dad education seminar, they wanted to sell the 3 day class but I want going to pay for it because of mix feelings on the information. Now I am hungry I want it, I have seen information that they have showed me at the seminar and just reading here. My question is what's the first real step to get started, I just need to flip a few homes, and I want to hold some units. Help me get started BP- Hungry Newbie-Maurice
