Aspiring newbie from south side of Chicago!

[Jabari Sterling]

Hello All

I am a young man who has yet to purchase a piece of property. I would like to take in as much info as I can to learn about real estate before I take that step. They say the best way to learn about RE is through experience but I don't want to dive into blindly so that is what brings me to BP. I am interested in but not limited to everything involving...

Realtor classes in my area Mls

1st time home buyer perks

203k, HELOC

Ways to attain money other than traditional lending

Ups and downs of auctions, tax sales, bank owned reo

Buy and hold, rehab, 2 flat rental

If you have ever told yourself, "if I knew then what I know now I would do things this way"... I'm looking for your insight. I am a beginner, so if you could go back a do it all over again what would you do?

@Jabari Sterling Here is my "if I knew then what I know now" saying....every 6 months for the last 4 years our average purchase price has climbed....get it before we go any higher.  

If nervous get a partner who has experience and learn from the experience and partner.  

Also welcome to the sight!!!!
