Hi!  My husband and I are looking to start real estate investing soon. We have been listening to the Bigger Pockets podcast and completed the first day of a real estate seminar today. We would love to connect with real estate agents, private lenders, and contractors in the Jackson, MS area. Please feel free to comment on this post with any advice that you may have for us as newbies. Looking forward to connecting with the Bigger Pockets Community.

Hello! @LaToya Judson

Welcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.

I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing. Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.

First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:

The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:

The last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

There are many agents out there, but it’s important to choose the right one.
