Any Tips For A New Real Estate Investor?

[Albert Garcia]

Hi, My name is Albert Garcia and I am new to Real Estate investing. I plan on mortgaging my first home in a couple months from now and with that I wanted to see if any of you guys could help out a noobie like me...Anything helps!

(About Me)

I am 20 years old. I reside in Saginaw, MI with my parents and I plan on renting out my first home here in Saginaw as well :). I plan on mortgaging about $20,000 to $30,000 on a house (not a lot I know... but it's what I can currently work with). I am doing research constantly on home buying and renting out homes.

I appreciate any information given to me such as wisdom, book referrals, tips, tricks, what not to do, what to look for, ETC. Thank you all !!!

Feel free to follow me if you'd like!
