Figuring It All Out in Apopka, FL

Tyler McConnell
  • Apopka, FL
Posted

Hey, y'all! 

I'm brand new to real estate investing and I'm hoping to find a community here that I can lean into as I learn how to get on my feet. My wife and I are located in Apopka, FL and I'm trying to educate myself as we move cautiously toward adding REI to our fledgling portfolio.

My professional background is in eminent domain right of way. I'm currently in pursuit of my state certified general appraisal license, so my knowledge of and exposure to real estate began about four years ago. I'm a nerd through and through, and I love real estate. Some of the most fun I've ever had was house hunting last year before we purchased.

If anyone has suggestions on threads or topics discussing how to begin with little or no capital, then I would be immensely grateful. I have already downloaded the UBG and begun reading it. It's been helpful so far. 

Looking forward to plugging in here,

Tyler

Hello! @Tyler McConnell

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.
