I was hoping to get your thoughts about a niche I was looking to to pursue with my boyfriend @Carlos Arjona.

I had been thinking about real estate investing for awhile, and with recent developments I've decided now is the time to jump in and pursue it seriously.

I know this post is over 5 years old, but my fiancé and I are currently looking into (what sounds to be) a similar opportunity that you and your parents pursued.

I see huge potential in REI with a lot of hard work, both of which I’m very excited to dive into.I’m in my 33rd year of life and recently left the commercial maritime world in May to continue pursuing my career as a freelance Captain.My wife to be (in 11 days 3hrs and 4 minutes 37 seconds) and I are looking to start our portfolio with our first property together to be a multi-family in which we live in one of the units for 1-2 years as house hackers and then continue to build with BRRR.

So, for a quick background on myself, I am a recent college graduate living in Atlanta, GA, currently working at a marketing agency full-time, but have become extremely interested in pursuing some sort of real estate investing.

I'm seeing that a great market to pursue is sellers who's home has been on market for 90 days or later and is eager to sell.

The 'Real Estate Agent' game is not as easy or as profitable as other Guru Agents lead you to believe.So if someone wants to pursue owning parks, isn't that ok?

You don't have to lose this friend to pursue your goals.

As of right now my only option seems to be pursuing a short sale.
