Hello! i am starting my real estate journey and I am interested in investing in real estate to create some passive income but more importantly to escape the 9-5 jobs and create generational wealth. I played professional baseball for 4 years and don't have any experience in the real estate world. But i know working a 9-5 for the next 25 years is not for me. I have been listening to a lot of real estate podcasts and youtube videos. (how i stumbled upon biggerpockets). I am eager to get my feet wet in the real estate world, just not exactly sure where to start. I do not have the capital at the moment to invest into any type of real estate but i am starting a new job in August and want to develop a plan, therefore i can jump in and execute when I have the available capital. 


 Evening Ben!!! I see you are new to wholesaling and ready to learn?!?!??! Is that right? 

Yes! Been looking into wholesaling as well

What’s up @Benjamin Miller

Welcome to the world of real estate investing. There are a ton of people on these forums willing to give advice and point you in the right direction :) are you planning to invest locally or out of state? 


 Personally, i am leaning towards investing out of state.. I live in California and the housing market is extremely expensive. 

I hear you on out of state investing, I invest a fair amount in NC where you can still buy houses at 50-60k 2 miles from a Target...lol 

50-60k??? That is literally unheard of in California

house hack sequentially every 1-2 years for 10 years


 yes! I am thinking about buying a duplex, fixing it up, living in one unit while renting out the other. However, they are not easy to find where I live.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene:

It's good to dial up a plan and there are many former athletes crushing it in real estate right now. This statement though - "more importantly to escape the 9-5 jobs and create generational wealth" - you should be careful of or just make sure it's a long-term goal. Since you were an athlete, going into the 9 to 5 will seem even worse, but if you don't have the capital now, the 9 to 5 is the best way to keep producing capital over the years to fund more and more until you can match or exceed your work income with investment income.


Your right. I did not mean to escape the 9-5 entirely at the beginning. But planning for the long term, I would like for my real estate portfolio to cover a 9-5 job in passive income. Overall, I am looking at real estate as a long term investment.

Welcome to BP - you've definitely come to the right place - I'd recommend some of the books in the BP bookstore for next steps - particularly the BRRRR Method book by David Greene which is great and might be perfect for your situation


 Thank you! I will give it a look.

Hello! My name is Benjamin Miller and I have recently decided that i want to pursue a future of investing in real estate. I am a newbie in this industry and have a lot to learn, however, I know with my work ethic and determination, I can become a successful real estate investor. I would love to bounce some ideas off of you guys and pick your brains!
