Hello and welcome to BP!  You can do a lot of different things in real estate.  You can go short term or long term.  Do not cut any corners.  Always do your analysis and make up to 3 offers everyday.  Quantity of offers means everything.  Find experienced and trustworthy Team members.  Attornies and inspectors are real important.  So are local Agents and a CPA. Do not try to do everything yourself.  Stay focused on income productive things.  Mistakes and fear are pretty normal.  Just do your learning and keep on going.  Learn how to use your fear in a positive way.  Just do what you like.  Try to look at everything before you bid.  When you have more experience you do not have to look at everything before you make an offer on.

I am 59 years old and I found BP about 6 months ago and I am still deciding what to do.  I did go to college and got a degree in business that emphasized real estate.  In that same year that I graduated, in 1980, I got a real estate broker license.  Reguardless of what I had I felt more comfortable in construction.  I have been in the  I have been in the construction business since I was 17.  My father has been buying and selling and managing real estate for about 40 years and he has taught me a little bit.  If you think I can help you please contact me through BP at any time.  Good luck!
