Patrick Thank you for the encouragement. I plan to spend a lot of time this summer working towards this goal! 

No my home is not paid off and not much equity yet. I do not have leads on partners either. I am just reaching out online as of now and attending my first meetup next month. Thank you for the advice ! :)

thanks Scott I am tutoring as much as possible but it takes awhile to save enoigh! I'm chugging away! 

thank you Jeff . I am doing other online in home tutoring right now , but I feel like i am always working. Id love to hear info about in home testing though to save up money. 

We are wanting to start a family In the next few years and dont want to have to work 3 jobs just to get by. My fiance is also interested in real estate and it is something we have been researching for a year or so. 

thank you Taylor 

Thanks Grant I will look into this. i have actually never heard of it. 

Thoughts on investing in a condo for a first investment? The prices are much more affordable for someone starting out. I understand the hoa being a possible issue but if the numbers work , is it still a bad idea?

That's what I'm doing currently teaching online alot and its slow going for sure. I might have to wait it out. Thanks 

@Twana Rasoul I do those things but I am more interesting in eventually having the passive income and only working part time. I am interested in real estate and have been for a long time, just never had the money to buy .

Hey everyone ! I have been doing a lot of research , attending webinars and reading books. I am just curious, when you were starting out , did you have another full time job or do you think this Is something you need to dedicate full time ? Obviously this varies but as a full time employee I am having difficulty getting myself starting in fear of totally overwhelming myself.

I guess here is my story. I am a full time special education teacher. I own my own home, hopefully my forever home. I realize that I want more in life than a teacher salary can offer. I have some money saved but not enough for a downpayment on a rental and honestly saving is slow going even when being very stingy. I've been looking into flipping and wholesaling which seem to be possible with less cash on hand. Has anyone used partners to start out?

Share any thoughts or stories of your own. Thanks!
