@George Blower Thank you, excited to be a part of the community. @GINA QUIROZ Thanks! What type of investment properties are you looking into?

Thanks @Hai Loc, every day I learn a little bit more and more and being one of frugal mind, I would probably have waived the fee.

I'm brand new to real estate and reading up on the general transactions of property purchasing & selling, but it seems that there are non-physical pitfalls such as liens, titles, and possibly others.  I only know that liens are generally taxes/debts that have not been paid on a property and the title is who owns the property, but I've heard titles can be more complicated than it sounds.  Are there other potential non-rehab/non-tenant pitfalls that result in a deal costing more money than anticipated or even the collapse of the deal itself?  I'm just trying to clear up my naivete. 

Sincerely,

The Noob - Tony

Thanks @Dan Barli! I'm definitely plugging away at all this new information. My wife is on board and will be my partner in all this.  How has your journey been?

@James Yoo Welcome, I'm a newbie, but you seem to have some good know-how relevant to REI. There's a networking event on September 12th, actually, I think there are a few around LBC. Maybe I'll see you at one of them? -Tony

Hello BPers! My name is Tony Rosas and I am brand new to BP and real estate investing. I heard about BP and real estate investing from a podcast a friend had suggested talking about financial independence. We could all use a little independence from the daily grind, right? I currently work as an RN along with my wife (who happens to be an RN as well) in the Pasadena area. I enjoy what I do, but realize that I may be suffering from compassion fatigue, and so I am seeking other means to put food on the table. I realize I will still be dealing with people, but the different context and the new challenge of it all is refreshing. When I’m not working I enjoy landscape and urban photography; we typically camp in unique environments. I also recently got married and excited for all the years ahead with my bride, my rock, my treasure. My goal is to be able to replace my current monthly income with real estate investing in 5 years. My wife and I are looking into single/multi-family homes out of state to start. I look forward to learning more and struggling through the process, but I believe grit, determination and knowledge will help us in our journey. Looking at where you are now and where you were when you started, what would impart to your newbie self? -Tony Rosas
