Thank you Jeffrey!

I stumbled upon a book about real estate investing after listening to some podcast, and so I’m really interested in learning as much as I can, the “where to start” “where to look” “where to find money” etc.

I work in television now, and I do pretty well with it, but after last year with the shut down, it was a bit uncertain for me and so I started having thoughts about needing a solid plan b, that could eventually become my plan A. My wife and I built and purchased our new home last October and we considered renting out our old home, but hadn’t researched it and things were moving so quickly, we didn’t have time to make what was the best decision for our old home and what our needs were for our new home.

So it got us thinking about buying some properties and renting them out, but it’s just the “where to even start”, “do we need a property manager”, “should we talk with an attorney or tax advisor” etc.

We just have a lot of questions and finding this site seems like there are a lot of good resources like minded on here that I feel like this might be a good place to start.

Thanks again!

@Bob Stevens thank you Bob!

Wow thank you everyone for the positive responses and feedback! I’ve got some ideas of what I’d like to do, and pretty sure I know what I’d like to not do. 

My wife and I just built our home, selling our prior home and using the capital to move. I’d never bought a real estate before as I moved in with her when she had already owned her home. The whole process made me start thinking this might be something I’d like to do to generate income for us while I’m also actively working a job that I enjoy doing working in tv. 

Hello and thank you for looking at my post. 

I’m currently a freelance television producer looking for a secondary income stream and came across this website after seeing a video posted on YouTube from Bigger Pockets. 

Just curious how much time people are investing in learning so I can figure out how much time to expect on my own.
