Baby Steps into Real Estate Investing

[Matthew Novelli]

My name is Matt and I've been listening to BP podcasts for the better part of this past year. I posted a couple weeks back that I was a newbie who wanted get into real estate investing. Jordan Moorhead (realtor/investor) reached out to me and I proceeded to share with him my interest in investing and a little about myself. I attended one of his Zoom meetings about house hacking. My family and I met him a few days ago to look at a fixer upper with a garage that has been converted into an extra living space and half bath. Weather we close on this home or not, I feel like I'm moving in the right direction to becoming a real estate investor.

I also wanted to mention that I became pro member about a week ago. After watching a webinar hosted by Brandon Turner, I signed up. In the webinar Brandon suggested analyzing 3 deals a day for a month. That's my goal and this past week and I have been using the fix and flip calculator like crazy. I work in construction material testing and I analyzed 4 deals on my phone while waiting for a concrete truck that was running late.

I say all this because I've told myself for years I want to be a real estate investor. I remember as a kid doing grunt work on one of my dad's investment properties thinking I want to do what he's doing some day. Thank you BP, Jordan, and all those who have reached out The wealth of knowledge and resources have been super helpful. Every day I inch closer to my goal. Baby Steps.
