Just getting started in REI
Hello BP! My name is Cory, im 30 years old and im pretty much brand new to the real estate world. Ive been doing a large amount of research on where i should get started. Im not sure how but i just found bp a few days ago, and i have to say im loving all the information.
So my goals are, i would like to start with wholesale/flipping/rehab. Then eventually evolve into doing vacation rentals. I should have approximately 50k in cash capital in the next 1-2 months. If i could ask, does anyone have any advice as to where i should start? Do i need to get an ien before starting?
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance!
