Hey @Nick Peters, thanks for the info! This is a great list to start with! I've been a big fan of the podcast and right now I'm reading "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene. Cheers!

Given your timetable, are you thinking rehab or turn-key?

Hi @Marlen Weber, thank you for the warm welcome! You're definitely one of the rock stars I mentioned above! 

Hi @Michael Haas, thanks for the response! It is a shame that this knowledge isn't more accessible in a classroom. I'm onboard for house-hacking, it seems like the most logical route given the market! I've been studying the lending side of the process. I'm definitely interested in connecting and I'll PM contact info. Regarding, the long-distance investing, you are so spot on. I've found that my risk averse side creeps up right when I don't fully understand a problem. Referencing horror stories, I'm a firm believer that it doesn't have to be your mistake to get something out of it. I'm very much looking forward to a chat, cheers!

Hi @Andrew Syrios, thanks for the warm welcome! And thank you for all of the work you do, moderators are the unsung heroes and the ones around here seem to be stellar!

I grew up with no understanding of how money worked. I worked hard but in spite of my efforts I always failed to budget or save. Eventually, I scribbled out what it was that I wanted in life. Family, friends, retirement, financial security… and most of all happiness. When I looked back, all that I saw was one poor decision after another. So, I started to clean it up.

I had none of the tools, so I learned. I had none of the discipline, so I started with small habits that could grow. So, when I first found BiggerPockets in 2018, I was not ready… But over the last 3 years I’ve put both my labor and my education to work. I’ve increased our household income by 110%, cleared debts, saved for the unexpected, and have built a solid floor to stand on. Now, I’m looking to grow my wealth through Real-Estate investing… I just want to say thank you, to all for you that support new and old members alike. You are the real heroes.

    Located in Seattle, WA but focused on long-distance investing. Not opposed to local if the deal is right. Looking for Single/Multi Family homes to buy, rehab, rent, and hold/flip. I’m solid at research, spotting deals, analyzing deals, and working with others. But most importantly, I have time and good instincts.
