I highly suggest reading this post.

If you have already read the "Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate" then you may have already read the post since the link is in the book. I like this post because it gives a pretty good answer to a very broad question, "How do I get started in real estate?"

It takes about 2 minutes to read and I know I will have the link saved for whenever I may want to come back to it while getting stated.

ps. I am just about finished reading the ultimate beginners guide and I think next I will read the Rich dad Poor dad book. I have heard many good things about it. Also I have a buddy who said he'll lend it to me. Free is best!

@Elizabeth Colegrove Thank you for your post! That is sort of what I am thinking right now, just letting others find out for themselves when it comes up.

Thanks for sharing the article @Susan Gillespie . I planning to having my primary market in St. Cloud or near the cities. I hope to connect with you some time.

Thank you for all of the information @Hattie Dizmond ! I will have to start looking through those links.

@Josh Barnes yes, thank you for the input! That is awesome that your dad suggested that.

@Hattie Dizmond You make a very good point that the more you talk about it the more it becomes second nature. Also, your post made me think that getting my loved ones involved would make myself more motivated to prove to them that I can do this.

This question goes out to all investors new and veteran. Currently I am wondering when is it the right time to let my friends and family know about my goal to become a real estate investor. I know there is no right or wrong answer and that the decision is completely up to me. I would like to hear when experience investors told their friends and families. Likewise, new investors, when do you plan on on telling them?

As of right now I am still in the education phase of my real estate investing career. I do not feel that right now is the time to let everyone know as I do not have enough knowledge about the business yet to sound confident to my peers. I strongly believe that my confidence will build as I continue my learning.

Any and all suggestion, tips, and comments are welcome!

Thanks!

Thank you guys, its nice to know there are others close by!

I am an aspiring real estate investor from the wonderful state of Minnesota. I am currently residing in St. Cloud but originally from the cities. As of right now I am looking to invest in single family homes and renting them out.

I have been been gaining as much knowledge I can about RE and am enjoying it more and more as I get into it. I invite everyone to view my profile to learn a little bit more about me and feel free to say "Hi".

Thanks,

Kyle
