Hi I am a 22 year old and I currently run a fairly successful clothing brand and I do that full-time. I want to expand my business portfolio by breaking into the real estate business. I just don't know how to start off with $20k. I know that I want to buy property in Phoenix or Tucson. The population here is growing since a lot of Californians are moving out of California to AZ, TX, and other more affordable states. Plus Tucson has a very popular University. Please if anyone has any advice on how to start off with $20k I would very much appreciate it. Currently im thinking of just taking out a mortgage and buying like a duplex or a house and just renting it out? Is that a good way to start off or would you start off differently?

Hello, I have been building my real estate knowledge and networking for the past year. I am graduating college and will have a high income job as a dentist with a strong debt to income ratio. However, my funds are quite low at the moment and I cannot afford a conventional mortgage for investment.  I really want to get started in real estate and want to scale quickly by finding a small multifamily and a short term in the near future. Are there any suggestions for creative financing to allow me to get started earlier? 

I have heard of vacation home as a way to get into the short term rental space? Recommendations, how does this work? 

Small Multifamily options? I have heard of seller financing which sounds wonderful but what if the seller is not open to that and it is a great deal? Debt vs. Equity partnerships?

Any Tips or suggestions are appreciated. Thank you! 

I'm currently a junior in college, looking to invest in multi-family real estate when I graduate. As most students will, I am going to have a decent amount of student loan debt when I graduate. (Probably upwards of 30k)

What advice do you have for paying off debt vs. investing in real estate? I will have a full-time job when I graduate and I am wondering if paying off the debt is most important. 

Thanks so much to anyone who responds. 

All the best, 

Ben

Good afternoon, I'm reaching out today trying to get some advice on where I should begin my real estate journey, I've been listening to the podcast for a while now and want to get some skin in the game but am unsure how to start. Any recommendations of what I should do or how I should begin my journey? Would love to hear so thoughts on this. Also is there anyone in the area that I could connect with, I would love to learn from someone nearby or someone that knows the market I'm in. Thanks for the feedback and am looking forward to reading through the responses.

hello everyone, I've been with my pro membership for about a month now, I've done nothing but analyze about 50 houses, I don't know what to do now, I don't have good credit or money to pull from to invest, I'm thinking of renting my house to maybe go and rent something cheaper and with that rent to be able to do something, I tried to download the rental applications from biggerpockets but it tells me that it is only for pro members and I am a pro member, I think I am about to give up, I just I sit on my computer and watch the good deals go by, if anyone has an idea of ​​what I can do, I'll be grateful, thanks.

I am looking to move out of Seattle WA and do REI full time. If you could move to any market to invest, flip and BRRR, where would you go and why?

Would love to hear from you as I look at markets!

We started our Real Estate Investment journey with a house hack. It's a 4-plex that was built in 2017 in McAllen, Texas. Best decision we could have done. Got us hooked on the REI train!
