@Dutch Langley Interesting, thanks for the input! I don't mind swinging a hammer, I would love if i got the chance to actually. I just want to make sure I know what I'm getting into when I finally get to start fixing up properties. 

Hi all! So I recently have been thinking about how I can get into something where I can learn about contracting. I would like a job where I get to fix up houses but I'm mainly just looking into getting experience for when I come across my future deals whether im fixing up rentals myself and a friend or two or managing contractors. How would I get into the business and start learning? And would it be possible for someone with no prior experience to get a job in this field? Thanks in advance!

@Evan Smeenge what a deal!

@Evan Smeenge Someone seriously sold their mentor ship? Im just curious on how

@Dorian Johnson Hi Dorian! Have you bought a house yet? If not you could get an FHA loan on a property for as little as 3.5% down when you buy a property. You will have to live in it for a couple years to use the loan but it will help you build equity in the property and bolster your investment. And about the option about living in an apartment while you make your first investment. While that is a good idea to rent where live and buy where you rent I'm going to suggest an arguably better option that mixes both renting a property and making your first investment. Invest in a house hack. You can buy a duplex, triplex, or, fourplex, live in one of the units and rent out the others and live there for very little if not nothing. and if you play your cards right you could even get some income from the investment. One more thing about the househack. You could use the FHA loan I mentioned earlier to finance the deal since duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, are considered residential. So you can 1.Build equity 2.make your first investment and get your foot in the door 3.You can live for close to if not completely free. and lastly 4.You will gain valuable experience for your future endeavors. I hope this helped, and I wish you all the luck in the world. :)

@Eugene Robinson well what niche are you looking to get into? Personally I'm wanting to get into small multifamily rentals right now so I could probably suggest some good ones related to that. 

@Max T. Honestly, I'm just a fan of his character. Yeah he may have lost some fights but he lost like a winner if that makes any sense. Plus my striking has gotten immensely better by personally implementing some of his techniques and mindsets when it comes to striking so im a bit biased ;)

Building on what @Marc Winter said. You should specifically research a niche that you think you'd like to get into. Find what interests you in real estate, learn everything you can about that, and go from there. I would also suggest learning about creative ways to invest if you don't have a lot of money saved up. Good luck on your ventures. 

Connor Mcgreggor may be falling off but he is still the greatest to ever step in the octagon so dont @ me.
