Anybody know of a GOOD mentor that can help with my overall growth in becoming a real estate investor. I understand that I’m starting from the bottom, but my end goal is to be a successful developer and I plan on starting out wholesaling to build capital. Just want to shorten the learning curve and have structured education. (Doesn’t have to live in Nashville)

Hi! I'm excited to be here and learn. I'm interested in buying and holding single-family and/or small multi-family properties. Currently in Las Vegas, NV where the barrier to entry is high in terms of costs SO I'm looking elsewhere. 

Currently interested in north Dallas area, Ohio, and properties offered by REI Nation. Currently in research and networking phase. I am looking to take the (calculated) plunge early 2025.

Hope to make some great connections here! Bless!

Hi BP.

I have been stalking the forums for a bit, reading books, listening to podcasts and educating myself over the past year.

I am Danish and came to the US (SF/LA) for love - got divorced but stayed for the adventure. I decided to change career after having worked with films for more than a decade - and I have always had an interest in real estate. I decided to get a remote job, establish work history, save up enough capital for my first househack while I researched and learned about markets and strategies.

I'd like to create an active business and I am looking at the MTR strategy. I have researched markets top-down and since I can move anywhere with my job (or travel for that matter) I have options more or less everywhere. I have a budget for my first purchase of about 500k and I am looking heavily at Atlanta or Decatur GA. I'd love to get a 2-4 unit for my first purchase. I will be able to do my first purchase in Q4.

My investment goals are to retire from my W2 in 6 years by the time I am 40, continue my location independence and split my time between the business and writing (it's hard to give up stories when you have worked with it since you were 19). Furthermore, a big driver for me is to be able to care for both of my parents in their retirement, my auntie who recently lost her husband and help friends or strangers in need.

Now I am looking to network and get more intimate with the market I am eyeing - and of course, continue to learn.

- Oh, and I am a total nomad. I not only love travelling but I am constantly amazed by how much I learn from moving around and experiencing various cultures.

Hello everyone. I'm Korede, new to real estate investment, but I'm deeply passionate about it. I'm glad to be here, and I hope to learn as much as I can from everyone here.

Hello to all that finds this well. I am a novice investor who is looking for some solid tips and tricks on where to begin. I am looking to invest in real estate, more specifically a duplex. What are some key points to look for? 

Hi all,

I’m just getting my feet wet with Real Estate investing and currently taking online courses on the investment process, principles of calculating returns, performing market analysis, analyzing cash flows and the different types of investment opportunities. Planning to relocate to the Southeast (SC, NC or Georgia) in 2026 and want to start out by investing in single-family rentals, condos and joining real estate investment groups to invest in multi-unit or commercial properties.

My investing goals consist of cash flow for consistent monthly payments and equity for bigger purchases down the road.

Looking forward to building a network of real estate professionals and investors to help find new opportunities, stay on top of market trends and provide value to other investors and tenants.

Any tips for new investors would be appreciated.

Best,

Brett Harmon

Hi all, I've been a fan of BP for a while, more of a lurker than a contributor at the moment, but looking to change that and introduce myself.  I'm 51, been a corporate drone for most of my career, but made a leap of faith about two years ago and launched a small but growing tent and event rental business as a side gig. It's not quite big enough to quit my day job, so I typically handle business on nights and weekends. I viewed it as similar to real estate investing in that if I didn't like I could sell and exit, just with a smaller entry price. 

Now I'm looking at real estate to see how I can build a small portfolio and would love to make some connections here for advice and sounding boards.  In my mind, we've run a few scenarios - primarily airbnb, multi-family, college towns - but really not sure where or how to start.  

It would be great to connect here with a few folks, hear your stories of how you got started, and learn how to take that first step.  Thanks all! Best, Mike

Hello Bigger Pocket Community, I am new here, just wanted to say hello to everyone.

Hi! I am eager to explore the opportunities that real estate investing has to offer. With a fresh perspective and a strong desire to learn, I am committed to building a solid foundation of knowledge and experience. While I am totally new to this venture, I am driven by a passion for investing and the potential it holds for creating financial freedom. My approach is one of careful research, strategic planning, and a willingness to adapt as I grow in this exciting new chapter of my life. Thanks!!!!

Hey all - i live in Nashville, TN and am ready to buy my first rental property. Looking at both short and medium term options and I wanted to see if anyone would be willing to provide any insight on one vs the other. We're limited with NOO STR's, so if I go that route it'll likely have to be a condo. Medium term opens up my property options. Any comments are appreciated!

Thanks!
