Hi I am hoping to get some tips for just getting started.A few years ago I was all set to get started with some flipping maybe renting.Just as I was about to start our financial situation changed drastically.My wife had to take a much smaller salary and I was hit with a ton of medical bills.So we went from looking to invest to living paycheck to paycheck.We have burned through all our savings just to stay afloat and things are going to get desperate soon.So I am hoping I can get started now before it’s too late.So I have been reading up and looking for options.Any tips or suggestions for someone in my situation to get started in the real estate game here in NJ would be greatly appreciated.Any wholesalers out there that can walk a first timer through would be cool.I have a partner who is less desperate then I am and maybe some investors if the deal looks good.Between the two of us we are acquainted with a lot of carpenters, painters, roofers and other home repair guys who would give us great deals.Plus we are both very handy and usually do all our own work for our homes.Hoping to make a move and supplement our incomes before getting too buried in credit card debt.Any tips would be awesome thanks.

I've been doing a lot of reading to get more familiar with terms such as wholesaling, hard money lenders and other concepts so any book recommendations that can supplement the the information I get from here would be appreciated!

I am looking way to invest some excess cash and to hopefully turn into some steady supplemental income.

Account ClosedJust sent you an invite and message but figured I should ask questions here for the benefit of the greater good.I get what you're saying about the other units allowing us to break even or maybe even just supplementing.

I am interested in real estate investing as an income supplement and retirement tool for the future.

After analyzing all of our options, we determined that the best decision, both financially and emotionally, is to move back home to have family support with the baby while house hacking a 3 or 4 family as she finishes school (my RE goals is to BRRRR properties until I can supplement my salary).

I wrote an eBook on my experiences if you visit my website under thought leadership you can download for free and have some podcast interviews on my BP profile website to supplement that.  

I'm re-engaging in real estate because I'd like to supplement my income and make it easier to fund my kids college.

Books are fantastic for personal growth and development, but it is only a supplement to what goes on in real estate investing.

I plan on maintaining a full time job and investing until i can supplement my income with rental income.
