Before getting started, I’d recommend focusing on three key areas:Strategy Selection – Understand the different investment strategies (BRRRR, short-term rentals, etc.) and determine which aligns best with your goals.Market Research – Study the market you want to invest in, including property values, rental demand, and economic trends.Laying the Foundation – Take proactive steps now that will set you up for success later.

Selling now could simplify estate planning and lock in gains, especially with capital gains taxes in mind.

I've been listening to Bigger Pockets for about a year now and excited to join the community.

However, the book was written when home prices were close to half of what they are now, and interest rates were half of what they are now.

Buy the property that you want to own the most 10 years from now.

It’s to your benefit to learn how to buy Properties using Subject To, at a discount, safely.Subject To Has 5 phases (ok, there are more, but I’m covering these 5 for now) JI did a spreadsheet on how to figure a good deal on Subject To.

It was all very confusing and challenging because getting free information wasnt as easy as it is now.

Congratulations on embarking on your investment journey!

Joining BiggerPockets is a fantastic first step – it’s where so many great real estate journeys start.
