Newbie Looking for Direction

[Zachary Beland]

Hey guys!

My name is Zach Beland I am 28 years old. I am currently an apprentice electrician and very motivated to get into real estate investing. I use to work as a software engineer for 6 years at an airline before the pandemic forced them to layoff all contractors. I live in New Hampshire and for a brief time also had my New Hampshire real estate license. I love home building science and have a very good understanding of how to build a healthy and efficient home. I also have a YouTube channel which I do DIY home renovations as well as projects like restoring a 1985 Bayliner boat. I first look into real estate investing was when I was 19 reading Rich Dad Poor Dad. I lost my way and never got started. However, I am here now and feel. My goal is financial independence just like the rest of us! I am looking forward to connecting with all of you! Thank you for reading this long intro!

Hey Zachary,

I would look into doing some form of house hacking for your first deal. That way you have a place to live and you can rent out the other areas while you fix it up for some sweat equity. From there, you could save for your next flip or whatever it is you want to do. We found what we niche we wanted to be in through trial and error, You are young enough where you can some options to see what you like best. I hope this helps!
