Hey Travis Whitfield,

I think Jared Hottle's advice is spot on. Keep that low interest rate for as long as you can. Rent out your current home and purchase a value add property to create some sweat equity.

Congrats Gavin Doyle, looking forward to hearing how it turns out!

Hey Jason Oliver,

That depends on what you define as "Succeed"

In my opinion, closing on your first deal is a success. But after closing is when the real work begins, and as every investor, you will fail during the journey.

Take action, fail, learn from your mistakes, stay consistent.

Yes, changed my life. Not that my life was going down a negative path, but it opened up a new world that I never knew existed. 

Hey Langston Grant,

I work with a group who does land development & home building and this may be perfect for us. Please send me info!

Hey Pedro Navarrete,

As Nathan Gesner mentioned, Meetups! This is your best bet to find a mentor in your area. Find some that interest you and consistently attend them. 

Hey Manav Wadhwa,

That is a question to ask the builder. Until you close, it is the builders property so you will need their permission to market/show the property.

 Hey Jillian Steelman, 

I say keep it, for the reasons you just stated. Also, as Nathan Harden mentioned, you have a 4/2, so you should be fine.

Hey Sheena Varghese,

Im with Jon Puente.

Option 1 will give a better initial cash on cash return. But option 2 seems like it will be a better ROI when accounting for value added, appreciation and the ease of selling in the future.

Hey Jackson O'Leary,

Your best bet would be to attend some local real estate investment meetups. You will be able to meet investors in your area who will be able to give you the best guidance. In the mean time, I recommend that you read all of the bigger pockets books and listen to as many of the podcasts as you can.

The community is here if you have any questions. Good Luck!!
