@Steve Worthy Welcome to BP! Glad to have you! This is a great place to make connections and learn a ton about RE, they have great tools (Rental Calc, Flipping Calc. , etc.) that are great for running your numbers. I'm relatively new as well, so we're in it together. Again, enjoy your time here, good luck and God Bless!

Hey @Zakari Takis ,

I'm just learning and diving in as well. I saw your idea about the triplex and like it, however what about renting out 2 units, and living in the third. You'll be able to qualify for a FHA loan (only available if you're living in the residence), and that'll give you a "super low" interest. If you do your due diligence and run your numbers through the BP rental properties calculator you could have your mortgage paid each month by your renters! Just and idea!

Welcome to the BP family!

Yours,

Nate J.

Utilize the free how to guides it will help you start out:

If you ever want to connect with a local agent feel free to reach out to me, I have helped many new investors get started.

I also am an investor so I know the industry very well, anything I can do to help let me know.

Wholesaling is very competitive in this market you should probably visit a few of the local clubs in the area like ACRE & REIA maybe you can partner with a experienced wholesaler.

Also I am going to be holding a local get together coming up on January 19th for BP members and any other investors who would like to come I have been posting the updates on this thread:

I have a few sponsors so it will be a nice setup with free food! I hope to see you there.

 Ian,

Thanks for the DL on our wholesaling market, great info on the local clubs as well. Also, I'd definitely be interested in seeing if I would be able to attend a local BP meeting!

Thanks for posting!

Hey All,

I am a senior mechanical engineering student at Pitt with goals to secure financial freedom from corporate america ASAP. I love engineering, but I want to go far beyond the financial  bounds that are around it. I'm interested in wholesaling and rental properties to start (quick and easy, when using a management company), and in the future flipping and raw land builds as well. I'm looking to build a professional power team around me to make this dream a reality as soon as possible!

Shout out to @Brandon Turner for helping make this possible.

-Nate J.

I'm looking forward to the possibilities of picking up some real valuable knowledge from everyone who has it to share. Thank you all for keeping me interested, and thinking big! 

You're so welcome, just remember, take you dream and multiply it times ten, and shoot for that version, it's totally possible! Enjoy your experiences as a sponge!
