So I am currently 21 years old you can date my posts all the way back to when i was 18 looking to get into REI. I've learned quite a bit but not nearly enough. I find myself wondering without a path, only a destination. I realized, as I was applying for different security guard positions, that sitting down/walking around for 8+ hours a day could have close to no benefit to my REI career. The original plan was to walk into various mortgage companies, really anything real estate related and ask if they needed any help with their day to day operations. I understand getting my foot in the door is probably the most monumental hurdle I have probably encountered as it is life changing if i succeed. Really all im asking for is some advice on what you think i should do. I have no one I can accurately talk to this about in person because no one I know is a REI, and they say "take advice only from someone you would trade places with." I'm just so tired of wasting time, I know I could live up to any task placed in front of me, its just about finding the person willing to trust me with these tasks.

Thanks for reading and i hope to hear from all of u soon!

Im sorry if I wasn't more clear, I do currently have a job but it doesn't have any relevance to REI

I like the idea of being a real estate investor, Ive been studying for the past couple of years for it. Im reading, watching videos, doing some of what I can to learn the most before my first deal. Although I am learning a lot none of these things push me towards results in REI. I'd like to know if anyone has anything they like to do or thought of doing in order to stay busy. I have too much free time during my day, and would like to fill it up with all things real estate.

Thanks!

Decided to come back to my very first post, Im still pushing for the success I want but i havent made much of any progress in this field. I know its an uphill battle but im determined to make it work.

Thanks all. Ill try my best to apply this.

So when I do my driving for dollars, I do in fact notice some houses that I believe could be potential investments. My only dilemma is I am kind of unsure as to how to track down the owner of the property. If anyone would share their method of finding the homeowner of a house that they saw, that would be great. Thanks!

So I have been studying some aspects of REI for the past couple of years but I am struggling trying to get my foot in the door. Which brings brings me to my next topic, if anyone needs any help in their REI business in any aspect, I would be glad to help. Although I am limited to my experience I make up for it with work ethic and time. Do not misunderstand. I will not work for free. All I ask is to have access to the wealth of knowledge and expertise that you have procured over the past years, dollars aren't nearly as valuable.

If you would like to reach out to me, you can email me, or message me on here, whichever works. Hope to hear from you soon.

So around where I live one of the most expensive football stadiums is being built. My concern is how this will affect the market value of the houses around it. Generally when there is construction of that magnitude would the values go up, or down?

Thanks.

Perfect. Thanks people!

Hello fellow BPers quick question. If i was getting hard money, would that qualify as an all cash offer or would that be financed.
