Hey there folks!

I just started learning about REI a little over a month ago, and I must admit, I'm starting to feel a bug of (dare I say it) excitement creeping into my body as I start to see the light for potential Financial Freedom and creating something that enables me to help others while setting out to achieve my "Why!?" Especially after losing my career and industry to the pandemic, this has been a welcome source of positive mental momentum (Thanks BP!).

I posted a little ways back about garnering resources that you all found helpful, and have since been pounding through my newly invested library of books (many off the BP list). I think the prospect of House Hacking to start, and then diving into House Flipping/BRRRR once I have established capital and better understanding of how the systems work. BUT, throughout my reading, I keep wondering...

***What does a day in the life of a Real Estate Investor look like?*** 

Specifically in regards to House Hacking/House Flipping/BRRRR Investors.

If you're a relatively new investor, I would love to hear from you! If you're a seasoned veteran, what was your daily experience like when you first started, and what do you wish you had incorporated or left out? I'm sure it changes by the day, but anything helps! 

Many thanks in advance again! Excited to be getting some air under my fledgling wings.  

Thanks all for your supportive words and helpful tips! A stack of seven books came in for me today that I'm anxious to start reading and analyzing- should be a decent start. I'm sure I'll have more questions as I go so a keep an eye out for my posts. It would be great to have some experienced folks give a helpful nudge or pointer when you felt like helping out that lost intern who has spent the last 30 minutes looking for the board stretcher... I thought they told me it was over on SR somewhere...

Thanks Marlen! Do you have any books or podcasts you would recommend for someone who is attempting to figure out how to “organize the puzzle pieces”, so to speak?

Hey there folks!

The pandemic has shifted the courses of many professionals in this country, and I was one of them. Small bit of background- I have been working in the Theatre/Opera Industry for the past 10 years or so, and found myself to be quickly advancing in the system at a young age. I worked on the Production side of theatre, and have hands on experience as both a carpenter and as a manager. I was unfortunate and hurt my back in the business, but that just forced me to shift my focus to become a stronger and more effective supervisor for my crews. After receiving a furlough due to COVID, I was left a little panicked- what was my next step!?

A dear friend passed along "Rich Dad Poor Dad" as well as a BiggerPockets REI book, and I feel like I've been bitten by a bug- I am now turning my down time into education time, absorbing as much as I can- books, podcasts, YouTube videos... I'm curious if there is anyone else here who comes from a similar Theatrical Background, and what avenues or tips they would suggest I go down as I continue to educate myself before taking a plunge into this world?

Like I said, just getting started in this and know I have a lot to learn but I’m hungry and want anything you’d be willing to share. Thanks in advance! Very excited to be here.
