Hello Anthony and thanks for reaching out. I know I should be making offers. I believe what’s stopping me is the fear of one being accepted and not knowing how to proceed next. It’s irrational. I know. I’ll move past this and start making offers. Perhaps I need to see a dead line.

Thanks for reaching out Corey. I’m working on building my network and will remember give them the praise they deserve. I plan on visiting and participating pretty frequently on BP over the next several months and beyond. Hopefully I can continue growing my network. 

Have a great day Corey.

Thanks for the reply Sean. I want to purchase a home for my family first. We would live in it for a few years, sell it, and use the profit to purchase a nicer home. Also, I’d like to get a fix and flip under my belt sooner than later.

I may reach out to you with questions in the future. Thanks again.

My name is Matt and I've been listening to BP podcasts for the better part of this past year. I posted a couple weeks back that I was a newbie who wanted get into real estate investing. Jordan Moorhead (realtor/investor) reached out to me and I proceeded to share with him my interest in investing and a little about myself. I attended one of his Zoom meetings about house hacking. My family and I met him a few days ago to look at a fixer upper with a garage that has been converted into an extra living space and half bath. Weather we close on this home or not, I feel like I'm moving in the right direction to becoming a real estate investor.

I also wanted to mention that I became pro member about a week ago. After watching a webinar hosted by Brandon Turner, I signed up. In the webinar Brandon suggested analyzing 3 deals a day for a month. That's my goal and this past week and I have been using the fix and flip calculator like crazy. I work in construction material testing and I analyzed 4 deals on my phone while waiting for a concrete truck that was running late.

I say all this because I've told myself for years I want to be a real estate investor. I remember as a kid doing grunt work on one of my dad's investment properties thinking I want to do what he's doing some day. Thank you BP, Jordan, and all those who have reached out The wealth of knowledge and resources have been super helpful. Every day I inch closer to my goal. Baby Steps.

Hey Kevin. I'm a newbie too suffering from analysis paralysis. I've been listening to  the podcast for the better part of a year. I became a pro member about a week ago and so I could analyze a ton of deals. My goal is about 5 deals a day for the next month. I still don't understand what I'm doing really but I'm feeling a bit more confident. 

I posted to the BP community when I first joined that I was a newbie as well. I had a few responses, one of which is a local realtor/investor. My family and I met him yesterday and looked at a house. It was a fixer upper and still waiting to find out how much work it really needs and if it's within my budget. Regardless of the outcome I'm more determined than ever to get my first investment property under my belt.

Let me know if you want to knock around some ideas or brainstorm with a fellow newbie. 

Good luck to you,

@Scott Carson thanks for the tip Scott.

@Jordan Moorhead just sent a Connect Request. Guess that’s how I pm? Thanks

@Nathan G.thank you Nathan.

I live in ATX and want to connect with newbie and seasoned investors in my area. I’ve been listening to Bigger Pockets for several months and started looking at a couple homes that need some TLC. How do I find out if the houses I’m looking at are worth pursuing? Also, I would like to get in touch with a hard money lender in my area. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks and have a nice day.

Just joined and wanting to get started to. Good luck to you.
