Right now, my focus is on leveraging my degree and skills to land a higher-paying job, increase my annual income, and ultimately grow my net worth.Real estate has always been something I’ve been interested in, and my long-term goal is to start investing in both real estate and retirement to build financial security.

Clearly identify what you want to achieve in real estate and use that as a guiding force throughout your journey.

Hi BiggerPockets community,I’m just starting out on my real estate journey and could use some advice!

I know this question was discussed many times previously, but hoping that high W2 or capital loss carryover bends the case in my favor to claim this as capital gain. 

Like with so many things, awareness and access to information leads people to take less favorable options when spending their money. 

My only concern is my schedule changes all the time meaning the days I’m not scheduled to work can change to now I’m working.

Welcome @Bianca Meza all the best on your real estate journey!!

I just moved to Milwaukee a week ago to get started with my own real estate journey.

I'd love to hear if anyone has become a licensed/certified home inspector to support their journey as a real estate investor.

Whether that’s underwriting a few deals, reaching out to agents, or networking with investors, progress comes from momentum.Looking forward to hearing more about your journey!
