Northern Colorado Newbie, Realtor & (soon-to-be) Investor!

[Rose Valdes]

BiggerPockets was recommended to me by a colleague as a tremendous resource for learning more about real estate investing from many who have been successful doing it. I am so excited to be a part of this community! I hope to finally launch my real estate investing using BiggerPocket resources! Step-one for me was obtaining my real estate license to learn more about real estate and ultimately transact my own deals. Step-two was finding the right resource to gain more investing-specific knowledge. Step-three is going all in...I have my own beautiful home on the market to pull out the equity to use in investing. I am leaning toward a multi-family property as my first investment. I am very excited and equally terrified! : )

You can do it Rose and I wish you the best.  

Real Estate investing has so many different paths or real estate strategies you can work in; wholesaling, buy and holds, fix and flips, Subject 2, and more.  My advice is once you discover which real estate strategy your "like and enjoy" focus on that one starting out. 

As crazy as it may sound, do not pick the strategy you think you will make you the most money, pick the strategy you enjoy the most.  Every strategy will yield a profit if you consistently and effectively work it.  Its hard to do that if you truly do not enjoy it.  The mistake I made was following my wallet and not my heart starting out.

Have fun and much success Rose.
