New to Real Investing

Posted

Hi, my name is Champaigne, I'm 29, been living in Houston for the last 4 years and am very new to real estate investing. New as in I've just started doing the research and don't know exactly where or how to begin. I was doing Accounting but I am momentarily unemployed and wanted to use this opportunity to focus on real estate. If anyone has any suggestions or tips I am all ears. Looking forward to chatting with everyone.

@Champaigne Shyne welcome to BP, this site is amazing with tons of free info and even better helpful people.  I suggest start with BP podcasts they are very informative and helpful, try to listen to one or two per day and then follow book suggestions and actions from the podcasts, also setup some key words to keep you notified regarding local events and discussions.  attend local RE meet-ups, also there are live weekly webinars that Brandon Turnor holds that are very informative

Good Luck.
