New Member To Real Estate and Need some Advice

[Jiffin Eapen varghese]

I consider all my bigger pocket members as my mentors. I have nothing but a burning desire to step into this bigger and vast real estate world and no surprise, this is my very first time i started putting my thoughts in here. Never wrote any forums before. So please excuse all my typos or errors. i'm currently reading and listening to bigger pockets books and podcast pretty much everyday. I'm from Long Island, New York. I love consider my self seeing as an Investor in Residential and Commercial down the road.  I would love to start contributing to this amazing platform more often from today onward.  I would love to hear some great advice from all my great mentors out there on how they started their career.

Hi @Jiffin Eapen varghese,

Welcome to BP. You will find lots of information here to help you. I think the thing that may help you get started is trying to figure out what your end goals may be. 

Are you looking for another job? (Flipping, being an agent etc) 

Are you looking to replace your W2 income? (Buy and hold rentals)

Questions like this could help you understand what first steps to take. Goals may change down the road, however I like to start with something to work towards.

I have 7 units and am building enough passive cash flow to retire comfortably. Mostly I am focusing on small multifamily and house hacking. I'm still pretty new but have spent a lot of time learning. I can try to answer questions you have.

Good luck. Thanks.
