Hello everyone, Sam C from Virginia here!
I’ve always thought Real estate investing was one of those things that only wealthy or highly educated connected people could do.
I binged listened the first 100 shows of the Bigger Pockets Podcast ( its ok, I’m a truck driver. I have LOTS of radio time)
And now it’s all I want to do.
I also have a few questions
1. As a complete newbie, do I need a pro membership?
2. I presently has a payment plan / tax lien with the IRS, could I even qualify for a mortgage or financing?
3. Should I focus on wholesale and maybe mobile homes, until I pay off my taxes?
