Quote from @Mitchell Hein:

You are already in the right place in the BP forums, but try to consume as much podcast and reading material as you can. My favorite book and the one that got me started was Set For Life by Scott Trench (a Bigger Pockets book).

Also, if you are in the position to do so, house hacking is a great way to get started! The goal would be to find a duplex in your area, live in one side and rent out the other. Your remaining mortgage will be smaller than you would typically pay somewhere else in rent and you will have your tenant on the other side helping to pay off the rest of the mortgage.


 Thank you Mitchell for the reading suggestion. I'm definitely going to look into it.

I'm past the point of house hacking though 😅 My family wouldn't fit in a duplex. We've outgrown our 3 bedroom! I'm going to keep this method in mind when my children are ready to leave the nest.

Welcome, Kala! 

Have you considered what type of strategy you want to take on first (house hack, BRRRR, flip, STR, etc)? Highly suggest looking into meetups near you to build your network/team as you start out. Happy to connect with you!


Hi River! I have my eye on a cute little two bedroom to rehab for my mother in law. I want to use the BRRRR strategy. I have my realtor and contractor on board. I'm searching for a lender for the project currently. Do you know any lenders for new investors?
