New to BP and Rental Real Estate
Hello everyone, I am new to all of this. I have been wanting to start buying real estate for passive income for about 4 years now. I didn't know how to get into it. Currently I am deplyed overseas. When I am not busy with my daily tasks, I am reading, and looking to see what my next move is going to be. Just in December, one of my Military buddies referred the BP site to me. I then looked into it and was instantly hooked with the podcasts when the lightbulb turned on. While listening to the podcasts from December 2018 to January 2019, I found a rare deal in Honolulu for a studio that is part of an estate that is currently in probate. I put in a bid for one of the properties and it was accepted!!! By the time I get back from this deployment, I will have this property paid off, and will have positive cash flow from it. I plan to get a HELOC with this property to buy more in the future.
