Hello everyone! I just want to say "Hi" and tell you all a little bit about myself. I started researching real estate investing when my mother's rent started going up and I figured the only way to not end up supplementing her at some point was to purchase something in order to create "rent control" so to speak. I stumbled across bigger pockets along the way. Started listening to the podcasts from #1. I am currently on #25. I just finished reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and I'm starting on Think and Grow Rich. I am finding it very challenging to find properties under $100,000 (the price range I need to be in to keep the rent affordable for mom) that can be financed in my area so now I'm beginning to learn more about creative financing and rehab loans. I have also thought about multifamily options as well. There are just so many options and avenues to explore. I'm still struggling at this point to find my niche. I'm really excited to have found bigger pockets and all the wonderful information it has to offer. Plus after listening to so many podcasts I feel like I know Josh and Brandon.
