Seeking Advice on Starting Real Estate Journey

Alan E.

Posted

I work as an engineer full time but I want to build a real estate portfolio of rental properties. My goal is to buy something within 5 years (in Michigan, not local here in Dallas). In the mean time Im building my savings and educating myself.

Besides books, podcasts, and videos how can i learn more about being profitable in real estate?

I would really like to network, but where and how can i do this locally in Dallas?

@Alan E. Hi Alan. I’m guessing you plan to relocate to MI otherwise you probably would have picked a different state to invest in. Haha. Well, If you want to invest in MI and you know where u plan to live, start looking in that area and ask friends and family to keep there eyes peeled as well. Heck you might find a few properties while searching for your new primary. The trick is to start the discussion, with anyone, and see where it goes and to get started. Find a place u think has potential, that u can add value, and in an area capable of appreciating and dive in :). Good luck.
