Thanks for all of the feedback! @Chris Jackson, that's an awesome way of getting it done. 

Hi, 

I am seeking to invest in my first, single or small multi-family property in a location that I would not be living in. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to obtain financing with low money down (< 10%) that is not "owner occupied?" 

Best,

Hi,

I am a new investor from Worcester, MA, but currently living in the Bay Area. I am looking to put together my first (of many) deals and want to start in Worcester, which is an area I am familiar with. Does anyone have any recommendations for good real estate agents in the greater Worcester area? 

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice, guys! Appreciate all of the feedback. 

Hi everyone,

I am a new investor and am currently in the stage of educating myself as much as possible through reading real estate books, listening to the bigger pockets podcast, and hanging out on the Bigger Pockets site. 

I am thinking about starting with wholesaling so I can fully learn the ins and outs when it comes to real estate investing with minimal financial risk. That way I will find a good deal as I wholesale that I can purchase as my own investment. Do you guys think this is a good strategy to start with? If not, please let me know what you think would be better. 

Also, what are your thoughts on obtaining a real estate license when as a wholesaler? Does it make life THAT much easier? 

Thanks!

Craig

Hi everyone,

I have just started looking into real estate investing in the past few months. I have read a few books and have started listening to the BiggerPockets podcast. As I read it seems as though there is a sort of spectrum in terms as to when to the pull the trigger on a first purchase. In other words, you don't want to act too quickly and accept a bad deal, but also don't want to have analysis paralysis. Any recommendations here? 

Also, I would love to get everyone's perspective in terms of which financing is best to use. For someone who is just starting out and has limited resources, I am thinking of taking out an FHA loan and living in the place I purchase for a year. Wondering if anyone has experience here?

Last question - Aye or nay on obtaining a real estate license? I have heard convincing arguments for each point.

Best,

Craig
