Being someone who is interested and house flipping/ home renovation BUT is not handy at all, what are the best resources to learn and get better at this sort of stuff. (Looking for books, magazines, websites, job opportunities potentially, etc).

Hey Michael,

Welcome to BP! This is a very complex question. Buying your first investment property is a huge deal and is no easy task. It is important to continue to do research, connect with experts on BP, and what I have found the most helpful is to go to local real estate meetups. You will learn so much from people who know the market and they will also have resources that will be useful to you.

As for the properties themselves, it never hurts to start looking. As long as you don't mind a couple extra emails in your inbox, get on people's buyers lists so you can see what is out there. Even if you aren't ready to buy, it will give you so much insight as to what properties are in what areas, how much they cost, etc.

I'm an agent here in Pittsburgh and I work strictly with investors. Would love to connect further!

Would love to get in contact! Send me your info!

I am a 20 year old college student looking for advice on what to do in my current situation. I work 2 (soon to be 3 jobs), live at home, attend college, have 20 grand saved up on top of stocks and an IRA. Should I pull the trigger on a investment property now or should I wait until I graduate college to purchase something?

What's your major and what is your plan for your college degree (for example, are you a finance major and planning to work for a large investment firm)? Without more info, I would probably tell you to wait till after college to get an investment property. I would imagine 3 jobs and college is enough on your plate! You got plenty of time to get started.

Business analytics with a minor in economics. I have an internship set up with a corporate company that will hire me full time after I finish school (hopefully haha!).
