Quote from @Briant Rivera Arroyo: Hello everyone, I'm relatively new to the Real Estate scene, I've done some research and have concluded I am interested in wholesale to begin my journey.

If you are new you might over see many things that can get you into trouble and lose money and then have a salty taste about investing and not want to continue this journey.

It's not the data or the asset classes; it's you.You are often your biggest roadblock.Considering this and looking at your journey differently, you can break the stalemate.If you are new and want advice, you must be open to ALL advice, not just the kind that supports your first idea or asset class.

When it comes to choosing between a turnkey property and a fixer-upper using the BRRRR strategy, it really depends on various factors, including your market conditions and where you are in your investing journey.

So for those who may be following my journey via Forum Posts, I had a home inspection on the Remington rowhome and the roof was poorly redone and may be a deal killer.

You say you have the tools and education to start " flipping," as you say, but  what if it's harder than you think?

Hey Kareem -A solid first step is educating yourself through podcasts, books, and forums like BP.

@Roberto Kattan-make sure you have your  financing  / loan pre approval completed  if you plan to  move  forward with purchasing a rental ....this  will  allow you to be prepared and also to be more educated on the  current  numbers  ( rate / cash to close / payment  etc ...) 

Happy to connect and assist you in your real estate investing journey.

Even though the distance would be a lot farther to travel than initially investing in another Chicago neighborhood, I know the tenant laws are a lot more relaxed out in the suburbs, the average price of property is much lower, and it just feels like a smoother entry point than a large city in general.I'm very interested in multi-family properties to begin my real estate journey and have worked on putting a team together, so I am getting closer to actually acting, not just observing.
