Hello Bigger Pockets!
I have zero experience in buying real estate and am looking to one day step out of my 9-5 and gain financial freedom through real estate. I am relatively new to the site and have been listening to the podcast/reading books for months now to learn as much as possible. I've recently inherited a very healthy amount of money and I fully intend to use it to jump start my real estate investing career.
I am very eager to get started as I feel I've learned a lot, but am ready to learn even more by jumping in and learning by doing. Over the last month or so, I have connected with three agents (two of which are property managers), two wholesalers, three lenders and two contractors. I've been trying to gain connections and build relationships as much as possible. I am also looking to possibly work with a mentor as I believe that could be very beneficial.
Understanding that there are many strategies to build wealth, I am very open to different strategies and/or combining strategies. I am open to fix and flips, turnkey rentals and very intrigued by the BRRRR method (I'm in the middle of reading David Greene's book on the BRRRR method).
I am looking for any advice, tips or suggestions on strategies to use moving forward. What's the best way to start? What would you do if you inherited six figures and had that type of a head start as a newbie? Thanks in advance!
