Hi I am new to the real estate world and I am currently unable to start investing as my wife and I are working on paying off some of our student loans. I have been researching real estate for a little over a year now and I am trying to get creative about how I can increase income while continuing to learn about the business so that i can speed up the process.

I am considering getting my real estate license  and selling real estate on the side. My concern is that I have a job that requires me to travel for 2-3 days a week, a couple weeks a month. I am hoping I can connect with someone else that is also doing this to learn what works well and what to avoid. 

I am currently in a job that pays well and I cannot afford to leave to dive all in on real estate just yet.

Thanks in advance. 

@Amy Beth Total Money Makeover is on the way! Thanks

@Caleb Heimsoth I appreciate the insight. Unfortunately my financial education was incredibly minimal up until the last month or two. I appreciate your insight here. I am certainly not planning on rushing into anything and I appreciate the insight. We have fought our butts off to get us where we are now. I will continue to grind and learn as much as I can in the next year to two. I hope to find and work with a local mentor that I can continue to learn from in this time. 

Hi Everyone,

I am reaching out to introduce myself and ask if anyone has any success stories about overcoming student loans and investing in real estate? My wife and I both come from lower middle class families where we always had food on the table and clothes on our back but for the things we wanted in life we worked. Both my wife and I worked multiple jobs through college but still managed to pile up mountains of student loan debt. We then proceeded to get married and buy a house. Unfortunately we both had vehicles that were also not reliable enough to make it back and forth to work so we have these loans on us now as well. 

We have both done very well for our selves in our short careers so far, however I have come to the realization that I am sick of busting my a** and making money for someone else.  I want to work my a** off for myself and make money for nobody other than my family. I am seeking financial freedom!

I have not made my first investment in real estate yet but my goal is to do so before I turn 30 in Sept 2018. I have done a great deal of research and I have began seeking out mentors but I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has come from a similar background/situation that made the same initial investing mistakes that my wife and I did with the house and cars.  I would love to just pick your brain on the first few chapters of your investing journey. 

I apologize for not having more value to offer to the rest of the community. As I move forward in my real estate investing career I commit to sharing as much as possible and helping others in the same way this website and podcast has helped me so far.  

Thank You

Tyler
