Brand new to Investment Properties.

Maurice Webb

Hello Everyone,

My name is Maurice and I am completely new to investment properties. I'm originally from Colorado, but am now living in Texas. South Dallas to be more specific. I have always felt like I need to be in business for myself, but wasn't sure of what my calling was (until recently). I am still deep in the research phase of real estate investment and would love some guidance on what path to take. I have an entrepreneurial mind and am not afraid to fail. I can't take a chance at greatness if I don't throw my hat in the ring, right? 

Ideally, I would like to aim for long term wealth and passive income. So for this method, I have chosen the route of rental properties. Along with gathering information online, I've also been watching a ton of videos on youtube and that is how I stumbled across BiggerPockets. I came across a lot of videos by Brandon Turner and most of what he said made sense, so I figured I'd do more research about BiggerPockets which ultimately led me to join the site. 

I am very nervous about stepping out into real estate investing, but I'm also driven by the desire to succeed. There's so much information out there and honestly my head is swimming. I know exactly what I want and I know exactly when I want it. I'm just not sure of the step by step process to obtain it. Any suggestions and help will be appreciated. God gave us two ears, two eyes and one mouth for a reason, so I will definitely be watching and listening twice as much as I talk. I hope this gave everyone a decent amount of information about me. If not, feel free to ask. Hope to hear for you soon! 

-Maurice
