Just Starting to Rap my Mind around Real Estate

Samantha Bruce

     Hello everyone, my name is Samantha Bruce I currently live in the beautiful state of Michigan, city Grand Rapids. For acouple months now I have been pondering ways I can make some money in mylife. Being a 22 year old women with very few people in mylife to look up to, I decided to take a step back and look at the options the world has to offer me. 

I have been listening to motivational speakers and listening to what their strategies are on money and how to make it big. I now am realizing that even if I put 100 dollars into my savings account every week, I still wont become a millionaire. Which being one is not my goal, my goal is to make enough money where I can be comfortable. 

Then I came across biggerpockets recently, and it sparked an interest. I worked for Lowes home improvment for 3 years and when I was working there I spoke with so many people and how they flip houses or have appartment complexes that they rent out. Ultimately, real estate is something I have always been interested in but never took action on that interest untill now. Creating a Bigger Pockets profile is my first step into real estate for me and I am beyond excited for what has yet to come. 

Please excuse me on not being educated on real estate yet and posting, but right now I see this as a good opportunity to gain some knowledge. So if anyone is willing to give me some advice on how I can get started or even a story on how you got where you are would be fantastic! Thank you for the opportunity Bigger Pockets!

Samantha welcome! Like many others on BP, a lot of my inspiration started by reading Rich Dad Poor Dad. That book has changed my life. 

Another good one for you could be BPs ultimate guide to real estate investing. Anything in the education tab is worthy!

Best wishes
