Hi, I'm just getting started in real estate investing, and I'm excited about this site and what it has to offer. I've been reading and listening to podcasts about the subject and am now ready to jump in and start making some mistakes but learning along the way. Here are my short-term action items: 1. Join a local REIA 2. Work with my small group (4 investors) to locate and finance a property to flip OR buy and hold based on the deal we find. The challenge right now is finding the financing for this first deal, so I'll be looking for articles on here for advice. 3. Sell my current house and buy a multi-unit as my primary residence. I want to live in one unit and reduce (or eliminate) my mortgage payment by renting the other(s). That's where my focus is at the moment and I can't wait to get started!
