Philadelphia Suburbs New Investor
Hello All,
My name is Mike and I have been looking to get into real estate for quite some time now but seem to be suffering from analysis paralysis. I think the challenge has been focusing on a single strategy. My main concern is making a decision now that will limit my investment opportunities later down the line. Right now I have 70k I can put toward real estate and feel more stuck than when I had none to put in the market. I told myself I would take a step toward the goal of purchasing a property this year and that's what this message represents. So I just wanted to float this out there to get a conversation going and introduce myself. Any comments/thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Sounds like a good plan Mike. So following your goal path, what step(s) have you taken towards your goal of investing in real estate?
