And the fortune cookie says...
Hello All.
About a year ago, I started looking for a new primary residence, and a duplex was one of the options my realtor showed me. I liked the idea of living in one unit, and renting out the other. I did not know much about real estate investing, so I started learning all I could, including reading all I could on BiggerPockets, and joining the Atlanta REIA.
Fast forward a year, to the present, I have yet to do my first deal, although I have put in a few offers. Today at lunch, I found this message in my fortune cookie: "You will do better in real estate than in stocks." I guess it is time for me to get off my *** and get it done. Because fortune cookies are never wrong. :)
Do you have stories of "fate" telling you real estate investing is the way to go?
