Hi, soon to be college grad looking into future options.

[Justin Bearce]

Hello, my name is Justin and I am from Maine. I am soon going to be entering the workforce as an engineer, and thus will hopefully have a decent income coming up to start investing in real estate. I have been doing a lot of research including reading "The book on investing in real estate with no and low money down" by Brandon Turner as well as watching some informative videos on youtube. Which is obviously the most reliable source of information.... right? 

Anyway I am looking into the markets of Wholesale and Rental properties. Right now I am just trying to learn more about the game before I try an play it. Though I have been thinking once I get my feet firmly planted in a good job I may look into buying a multifamily home. And see if I can learn a bit more through working with that.

I have heard and seen many strategies through the sources I have looked through thus far, but what I am still very unfamiliar with is the "paperwork" portions of everything. Or where I look for a good contractor or attorney. What does it cost for an attorney and is that an upfront cost you need to have with every deal? 

Clearly I have a lot of questions and more even still. I don't want to ask anyone to sit here and try and explain all of this to me, so I was just wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for a book or video to help me answer these questions.

Thanks!

Justin
