Learning and getting familiar with RE investing

Iris McCollam

Posted

Hi, my name is Iris. I joined the group a couple months ago without introducing myself.  I am a former financial consultant, entrepreneur, and a full time housewife. However, earlier in the year I decided to tap into the Real Estate industry and I was fascinated with all the information that I learned during RE classes. I don't have a RE license yet but I am planning to get one soon.  RE investment still foreign to me but I want to learn more and get experience in this area.  Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Hi @Iris McCollam

Great to have you on BP. Thanks for posting. REI was foreign to all of us at one point in time. You'll get the hang of it soon, but there's always something to learn. Have you had a chance to read through The Ultimate Beginner's Guide? It's a great place to start.
