Hi everyone!

I'm Kevin, and I just recently became interested in REI. Started reading the Bigger Pockets book on rental property investing and decided to join this forum to seek advice and help with taking that first actual step into investing. Currently I am a registered nurse working in the neuroscience ICU. I love my job, but I just don't feel like I have the financial freedom to do everything that I would like. I am definitely living that "paycheck to paycheck" life...

Hoping to gain some knowledge and advice here! 

Thanks!

Hello! @Kevin Luk

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.
