I have done research on creating a non-profit, but at the moment, it does not make sense to me. As for government grants, I have been working on putting together a grant proposal.

Hello Everyone.

My name is Andrew and I am thinking outside the box when it comes to real estate investing. The entire point of my strategy is to provide a helping hand to people who are in need. My focus is primarily aimed towards families who are struggling financially, single parents, and members of our military. 

I know that the point of real estate investing is to make money, but that's where my idea is different. Obviously, I want to make money, but not so I can live a lavish life with designer clothes or luxury cars. I want to use a majority of the profits to give back to the communities around me. 

If you are interested in helping me make a significant difference in the world, send me a private message and I will happily give you more details of my plan.

I currently work in Information Technology. My interest is using the B-R-R-R-R strategy to add Single Family and Duplex rental properties to my portfolio. I know bits and pieces about general construction and can do some of my own work on any renovations that will need to be done. 

Hi Everyone, 

My name is Andrew and I am trying to get started in real estate, but facing one of the largest hurdles. I have been going from contract job to contract job, with no sense of a permanent position on the horizon. I struggle to pay my bills every month and still have enough money to put food on the table for my wife and son. I have the ambition to be successful with real estate, but I keep getting knocked down because I can't afford to put any of my own money into a deal. I know from reading the posts on BiggerPockets that investing in real estate is an excellent way to earn extra income. 

I am looking for an investor who is willing to work with me as a partner, or as a mentor while I get a few deals under my belt. 

Thanks!

Andrew

Hi everyone. My name is Andrew, and I'm working to begin investing in real estate. I have my goals of what I want to do, and when I want to get there already in my mind, but I'm having trouble getting started. 

Let me tell you all a little about my background. I'm almost 33 years old, and I have made 4 attempts at buying my own house. The first two attempts were absolute disasters that cost me a good amount of money. My third attempt I only got to the pre approval stage before I was told by multiple lenders that I would not qualify. My fourth attempt was successful and is where my wife and I call home. 

My ultimate goal in real estate is to hold long term wealth with income properties. Getting there seems far fetched considering I really have no means to fund any of my own deals. I was hoping to get started by becoming a "deal finder" and wholesaling properties to more experienced investors, making enough money to get out of debt and support my family. 

I know there is some good money to be made in real estate, but I also know that you can lose a fortune if you're not careful. I have made a few calls to some places that advertise "we buy houses" but so far, all I have gotten is that in order for them to help, I have to be the property owner. 

I am open to discussing other methods of beginning in real estate investing besides wholesaling properties. Any advice or guidance would be appreciated to a new investor.

Andrew
