I am currently working for an underground gold mine and I love the work; however, I am somehow always drawn to real estate investing and find myself browsing the web for beginner advice and how to get started.

Hi @Anita Ahuja,Your profile says Oakland, is that where your home is? 

Once I started to dig in, I decided that I would go for the 2nd bathroom and change the profile of the house.

Complete your profile and let people know where to respond about.

@Sam Hickey Thanks for the additional info, I was browsing a bit on the USDA site but since their properties are mostly in low population areas I believe that wouldn't be great for downtime getting a tenant in.

My profile pretty much tells it all so please check out my profile description.In a nutshell, I am working to break into the commercial/multifamily real estate investing space.

My email is in my profile bio or feel free to pm me. 

Can someone help me with instructions on uploading a profile pic??

That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, but you have to do it with a full understanding of those effects, particularly how they impact your risk profile and the flexibility you have for dealing with the unexpected.

If they build a high profile business like I have it can get extreme like the comment you see below.What are your thoughts on how society views landlords or real estate investors?
