Congrats Nate!

Hello to all!

I am looking for people that have experience in the Jackson MS market. I’m looking for a GC and a reliable agent to get introduced into the market for potential opportunities. Also just any sort of advice or personal experience in that market area.

 Thanks! I'll look into that material more! Things are starting to make more sense to me the more I'm reading up on it.

 I'm noticing that trend and where I was getting confused with things. Every "good deal" would have to be well below asking to get the figures I would want. 

 This is great advice! I've been analyzing deals and the price I would need is well below asking for most.

 I'm learning that quickly the more I dig into things, thanks for the honesty!

 I haven't done that much research into it, could you help me out with that?

Thanks for the quick reply and advice!

Hello everyone!

My name is Erick, and I’m thrilled to be starting my journey into real estate investing. I’m originally from Texas but now call Colorado home. The Air Force brought me here, and I’ve stayed ever since—I’ve really come to love it here!

Outside of real estate, I’m a huge sports fan, so you can usually find me glued to almost every game on the weekends.

My interest in real estate began as I explored different ways to generate passive income, which ultimately led me to the BiggerPockets community. Like many of you, I started by reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, and from there, I dove into Brandon Turner’s book on real estate investing.

I’m incredibly excited to embark on this new adventure and can’t wait to see where it leads. Looking forward to learning from all of you and sharing the journey together!

Cheers,
Erick

Hi everyone,

I’m new to real estate investing and just finished reading Brandon’s book on investing with no money down. I’ve found myself particularly interested in multifamily properties, but I’m struggling to grasp what exactly defines a “good deal.”

When evaluating listings, should I primarily focus on properties that seem undervalued? Are there specific market indicators or property traits I should be paying attention to? I feel like I’m missing the bigger picture of what makes a property a great investment opportunity.

If anyone could share some pointers or insights on how to identify a “good deal,” I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance for your help!
